System - Tomcat 4. I have setup form based authentication using a JDBC realm. The authentication works fine. When a user types a URL for a protected servlet, they are redirected to a login.jsp that is in an unprotected area of the webapp. After authentication, it returns to the servet for processing. Ok, fine.
Then, I decided to add a banner to my login page so it would look like all the other servlet and jsp generated pages in the webapp. No matter what I do, the image will not display on the login page. I have tried every path name that I can think of, and tested paths that I know work that are on regular (not login) jsp pages. The funny thing is - when I have an image tag on the login page, the image doesn't show up when the page is first loaded (there is a broken image indicator is on the page) - BUT - after I type the name and password, then submit, the browser then shows that image, and no longer goes back to the servlet! So, obviously, the image is being protected from loading until authentication has taken place. However, the image is NOT in a protected area of the webapp. I tried it in the root directory of the webapp, and in a non protected subdirectory - no luck. Certainly there is a way around this. Anyone have ideas? I thought the whole basis for form based authentication was so that the designers could have their own design on the login page...
