not sure which version you're using, but it seems like you could add the =
page (package/protected/index.html) to the=20
   <welcome-file-list>    </welcome-file-list>  attribute, and then in =
the security constraint, make it protected.
Would that not work?

Hi All,

I was wondering if any of you had experience with this. I want to add a =
form
on the homepage of an application that allows the user to quickly log in
(see below) and take them to the protected page. I've never done this =
before
and unfortunately the form below doesn't seem to work, it basically =
brings
me back to the original page. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ryan


      <form method=3D"POST" action=3D'/package/protected/index.html' >
      <table>
        <tr>
          <td>Username</td>
          <td><input type=3D"text" class=3D"text" name=3D"j_username" =
/></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Password</td>
          <td><input type=3D"password" class=3D"text" =
name=3D"j_password" /></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p>
        <input type=3D"submit" class=3D"button" value=3D"Login" />
      </p>
      </form>
