Is CustomLogin a resource at a protected URL, or is it a servlet that itself spits out a login page? You can't access j_security_check directly. Instead, you need to access a protected URL, the container sees that you're not logged-in and redirects you to the login form, you submit the login form, and finally the container sends you to the original resource you requested.

But when I submit the form to be authenticated, that is when the error appears.
