This is possibly a shot in the dark. But in your login.html page have you
defined <FORM METHOD="POST"...>?
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Subject: Problem with POST and FORM based authentication
Dear all,
I am trying to apply a security contraint on POST requests to my servlet. I
specifed it in my web.xml as:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>posttest</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/TestServlet</url-pattern>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>...</auth-constraint>
<user-data-constraint>...</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
I defined the login config as follows:
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<realm-name>testrealm</realm-name>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.html</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/error.html</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
Problem:
When I send a POST request to TestServlet from the brower (by submitting a
form), I get the login.html page as expected. However, when I submit the
username/password , doGet of TestServlet is getting called instead of
doPost()!
To be sure that my settings are all right, I changed the login-config from
FORM to BASIC, and everything worked fine. ie., after submitting the login
page, doPost of the servlet is called. So, it's only with the FORM based
authentication that there is a problem.
I also tested this configuration on JRun and it also has the same issue.
Can
somebody please throw some light on it? May be I am not doing something
right.
Please help,
Paul.
