I would think your url-pattern is not valid : <url-pattern>/*corejspbean*/StringBean.jsp</url-pattern>
I don't know the exact rules for the pattern, but could you try first with /* and see if that works, and then tweak the url-pattern further to your needs ? regards, Harry 2010/3/28 Binu Kuttikkattu Idicula <binukuttikka...@googlemail.com> > > Hi, > > I was trying a very basic example of authentication using HTTP Basic > > Authentication.
