It may be ugly, but this comes to mind. Map all requests to /admin* to your servlet.
Also setup the /admin* to be constrained. Someone goes to http://www.yourserver.com/admin. They must log in. Once logged in, all requests go to your servlet. The servlet strips off the URL information and redirects to a page or whatever you choose for all requests. So if you wanted an intro page and then they could click a link to go to their requested page, then you could send all requests to the servlet (regardless of URL) and then redirect to the page. Of course you have to be careful about URI mappings, etc so you don't get yoursefl caught in a loop. But that is a general idea. On 8/14/06, Eurig Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
That was my guess initially, but there is no way of knowing that the request the filter is given has been through the security... Unless I'm wrong about this...?
