J_security_check is a part of the container managed security system. In order to do what you want, you have to do a lot of handwaving. Or, a lot of copying of code. In essence, you provide another logon url, that is mapped to a servlet (not struts) and then inside the servlet do whatever mangling you have to do of the login form (in your case the cookie), and then forward the request to j_security_check, with the j_username, j_password and the url that should be forwarded to when the login is successful. I forget what the parameter name is off the top of my head. An example is in appfuse, and I believe the author got it from someplace else. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
