Unless you can get a request object during the login process, you will only be able to get the user's password when using BASIC authentication (not FORM). You'll need to get the "Authorization" header from the request and decode it to get the user's credentials. You can read all about HTTP auth in RFC 2617 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2617.html) to determine how to interpret the data found there. > And there some web server independent solution? I assume that you mean /application server/-independent solution. Yes, all (compliant) Java application servers support the servlet API. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGOMsF9CaO5/Lv0PARAlIvAKChwWOlitX82IddFCuhseB/yVQKdgCgpwAN IUy2xRS5++zOtJm/Zvfd31s= =HvYe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
