REPORT #381 Details.

Project: Tomcat
Category: Bug Report
SubCategory: New Bug Report
Class: swbug
State: received
Priority: medium
Severity: serious
Confidence: public
Environment: 
   Release: tomcat 4m4
   JVM Release: sun jdk1.3
   Operating System: linus
   OS Release: redhat 7
   Platform: i386

Synopsis: 
can no longer forward to j_security_check

Description:
In tomcat 3.2 beta 4 (don't know about others) you could create a form based login 
which posted to a jsp instead of j_security_check. 

This allowed the jsp to store the username and password in the session and then 
forward the info on to j_security_check.

This is required in order to use the username/password to connect to an external 
system from within a servlet.

With Tomcat 4 milestone 4 this same method causes an exception when the jsp:forward 
occurs. It also creates an empty file in the login directory.
