I suspect this question has been answered before - unfortunately, I
cannot find the key words to find my answer(s) in archives, etc.
I understand that Tomcat's FORM authorization setup expects me to secure
URL's and then let Tomcat invoke the login form before proceeding to
these URL's when requested.
However, I have a site for which we are creating a new layout which
includes a small login form in the left column. Throughout the site we
use roles defined in the web.xml (checked using isUserInRole() ). I see
many sites use this layout-embedded login form, so I expect there is
some way to set this up in Tomcat. Can someone point me at some info? I
am using Struts in case that matters.
I see many sites use this concept of putting the login form in the
template - does this setup require me to abandon Tomcat's
authentication/authorization mechanisms? My site has many pages and
features which all use the isUserInRole() - I dread having to recode the
whole site just for a simple login form.
TIA for answers or links-to-answers,
Steve B.
