Our application serves many different clients. Every page in our application 
(including the login.jsp and errorLogin.jsp) is configured to look like our 
clients predetermined look and feel.   We use this property to distinguish 
which look and feel to display.

Perhaps if you tell us what you're really trying to accomplish, we could
help you do it another way. I doubt very much that there's a business
requirement to provide access to a request parameter in a login page.
So, what's the /real/ business requirement?

I would guess that Tomcat is reading the request body into a buffer for
storage, but not bothering to make a copy of the parameters available to
the login page.

The spec isn't clear on this issue (making request parameters available
to the login page) so I'm pretty sure you'll get a less-than-warm
response to making this change to Tomcat. You can try, though. Patches,
as they say, are always welcome.
