Read section 12 of the servlet spec for a description of how to configure security. In particular, you will need a WEB-INF/web.xml file containing a <security-constraint> section with a <url-pattern> of / (which indicates all URLs are covered; you will not need any <servlet> or <servlet-mapping> declarations, since they're covered by Tomcat's default web.xml. Look at the WEB-INF/web.xml of Tomcat's manager or host-manager app for examples. You will need a <Realm> declaration for the webapp to provide the authentication mechanism. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
