Form auth

[Jan Agermose]

I would like to use formbased auth for my application, but it seams, that it is based 
on
    1. user trying to access som resource
    2. if not logged in - prompt

This is of cause good. But usualy you have a webpage that has a login-form somewhere 
on the page to allow the user to log in at will. Log in -before- a secured page is 
requested. How can I implement this? I find only methods to getRemoteUser and isInRole 
and... no setRemoteUser or the like...

Am I making sense :-)
