You should read the spec all the way through IMO. It's not that long,
it's well-written and readable by real humans (and not
techno-lawyers), and very informative.

You can put your login form wherever you want. Just be aware that the
container is going to intercept any non-authenticated access attempts
to protected resources and forward them to the one-and-only login page
you have configured in <form-login-page>.

But what?

Your login.jsp page can forward/include anything it wants, as long as
none of the resources it tries to include/forward to are protected.

So, you can sniff the original request URI and serve-up whatever
flavor of login page you want. To see how to do *that*, I'm going to
make you read the spec :)
