You could try one of the following:
1. <form-error-page>/error.jsp?reason=auth</form-error-page>
Then, your JSP can check the "reason" request parameter. I'm not sure
if this works the way I'd expect.
2. Write a new login-error.jsp that looks like this:
<?
request.setAttribute("login-failed", Boolean.TRUE);
?>
<jsp:include page="error.jsp" %>
This goes roughly the same thing, but requires a separate error file.
But at least you get to re-use all of your error.jsp page.
