I agree that login forms should only contain login information, but I
question the J2EE spec's interpretation of what should be considered
login information. Username + password is often not enough, and the
servlet spec makes it completely non-portable to do anything differently.

One such option is to use securityfilter
(http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net), which allows you to (IMO) more
easily write your own authentication module, including direct access to
the HttpServletRequest object where you can set up some configuration
information.
