I looks like it has changed. I have the same problem getting parameters from
this page that have been submitted via a post. However, I think that maybe the
answer lies in the
valve "org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator"
I'm sure that if you add the
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve" />
you will get to the values in the request. Of course enabling this valve won't
cut if for production.

Subject: j_security_check/j_username/j_password issue in Tomcat Version 6.0.18
To: users@tomcat.apache.org
Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2009, 6:40 PM
Hello All,
I've deployed two apps(say A and B) into two instances of Tomcat running on
port 8080 and 8081. They both have been enabled for form based
authentication.
Step 1: When a user tries to access the application A he is shown a
userid/password page(Alogin.jsp) with all the j_xxx details.
Step 2: On entering the details and clicking submit, I've configured the
action to take the details and post to the application B which is shown a
Blogin.jsp.
Step 3: In Blogin.jsp, if I do a request.getParameter("j_username")
/ request.getParameter("j_password") , I'm getting the values
entered by the user in Step 2.
Step 4: When I move the "same app" to 6.0.18 I'm getting null
values for request.getParameter("j_username") /
request.getParameter("j_password").
Did anything change in terms of j_securitycheck / container managed security
between these two versions of tomcat?
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sanjay.
