Is this a bug or part of the specification?
It is a bit of a grey area in the spec, but IMHO it is a bug. When forwarding to the login-page, Tomcat bypasses normal request processing (including calling ServletRequestListeners). I'd go ahead and file a bug report for it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
