You can either do container managed authentication and authorisation (container == servlet engine), or implement it in your application. A middle ground is to use a servlet filter managing it for you. You can take a look at securityfilter.sf.net. In addition to the framework, you need some clue code that connects to your ldap server, which would be trivial to implement in a single class using JNDI. Or you may google for "JNDI realm" to see some existing code. Most security implementation uses url patterns to match requests to the appropriate security constraints, I guess this is what you're familiar with from coldfusion as well? -- Torgeir Veimo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
