Yep. It's part of the servlet specification. Maybe as you move forward,
you could look into using that and reduce the amount of code you have to
maintain. Note that TC container-managed authentication does not allow
drive-by logins (that is, logins that didn't result from the request for
a protected resource). Basically, no "unexpected" logins, which kind of
sucks. Securityfilter, available on sourceforge, provides
container-managed-auth-style authentication and authorization and gives
you some additional options not provided by TC. Feel free to check it out.
