Hello, I have protected everything in my project with the "/*" URL pattern. The problem is, my form based login page has a banner, that its actually contained in an outside html file, referenced like this: <%@ include file="loginheader.html" %> The problem is, that banner doesn't appear in the login screen, only a small "x". Is this because of the security doesn't allow? I think so, because if I make the security only forbid access to *.jsp files the header shows up. So how can I work around this? I still want complete security, but want my login form to be able to show this banner.. Thanks Roland
