Okay I have just started to use Realms and container managed authentication
and I am confused about as how to specify a home page.

Let me explain-:

<web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>TECHERS</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>/teacher/success.jsp</url-pattern>
            <http-method>GET</http-method>
            <http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>

Here the only resource protected is

/teacher/success.jsp page

Now what if I wanted to add more pages to protect like

/teacher/upload.jsp

Do I add another <url-pattern> to the same <web-resource-collection> ? Or
do I create another web-resource collection for /teacher/upload.jsp?

Also if they are in the same in the <web-resource-collection> how does
Tomcat know to go to /teacher/success.jsp and not /teacher/upload.jsp ?

I mean all forms will have "j_security_check" as action, so which page do I
go to after login if multiple pages are protected ?

How do I say that success.jsp is the home page and all other pages are
protected but not home pages ?
