Well somehow I managed to mannualy set the correct configurations and
I'm able to attempt loging in to the application. I have the database
setup with the same schema model as the mysql example (with its oracle
variations). I'm trying to log in as the user webical but the login
attempt fails and redirects me back to the login page. What I hope to
find is where to look in terms of trying to debbug a loging attempt. I
know that it makes a http post to j_security_check but i havent able
to find my way from there. Thanks for any help in the matter.
