Ranier,
Thank you for the clarification.
As far as your instruction, let me ask the following if you don't mind:
What source are you referring to? Do you have a URL for this source?
Also, I've been trying to pickup this "AUTH_USER" from the
HttpServletRequest. Is that not where I can pick it up from? I thought I
could access it from the client request via the tomcat connector but I did
not know how to do that.
That is what I'm trying to get at to pass into my authentication method.
Again, any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again so much.
