Authentication Filter
Is there an authentication filter that could be used with Servlet Spec 2.3.
Does tomcat 4 come with one that could be used?
Thanks in Advance,

I would have responded had I known the answer... I have never worked with
filters.
Try searching for authentication filters in the archives.

I am posting this again because no one responded. No one here has worked
with filters? Can I get a yes or no about if Tomcat has a Authentication
filter?
Thanks in Advance,

You could certainly use a filter to write your own authentication support.
> Does tomcat 4 come with one that could be used?
Tomcat 4 supports standard container-managed security, but it is not done
with Filters. You could write your own, however, along the following
lines:
* Map your filter to URL pattern "/*" so that it sees all the
requests to this application.
* Check if the user has already logged on, by looking
for an object in the user's session.
* If the user is logged on already, go ahead and pass
the request on to whatever they asked for. (You will also
want to let them see the login page itself, so that they
actually can log in.)
* If the user is not logged in, do a RequestDispatcher.forward()
to the login page and then return without passing the request on.
* In your login processing, create the appropriate object
in the user's session so that the next request
will find it there.
There's lots of variations on this theme, depending on precisely how you
want to authenticate people.

Over here, you mapped the /servlet/TestAction to /TestAction,
so it is availble at both /servlet/TestAction and /TestAction URL

so you should access it using /framework/action
You mapped the URL but you are not trying to use the power of mapped URLs.
I don't think youi need to map any url if you want to access them using
/servlet/ClassName
something its good to map a servlet name to a class name when say class name
is com.pritpal.dhaliwal.mother.s.lastname.RealClassName
to RealClassName
so you would do it like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>RealClassName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
com.pritpal.dhaliwal.mother.s.lastname.RealClassName </servlet-class>
</servlet>
Above you had:
> <servlet>
> <servlet-name>TestAction</servlet-name>
> <servlet-class>ActionServlet</servlet-class>
> </servlet>
which ofcourse works, but again, you are not using power of mapping class
name to servlet names.
( its not same as mapping servlet names to URLs, just to make sure)

Re: Servlet Mapping...:(
Posted by BacardiWasabi <se...@yahoo.com>.
I completely understand that my URL should be
http://localhost:8080/framework/action
not
http://localhost:8080/framework/servlet/action for
below web.xml
web.xml
<servlet-name>TestAction</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ActionServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>TestAction</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/TestAction</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
My ActionServlet servlet class resides under
web-inf/classes.
I still dont understand ...why im getting "Page Cannot
be Found" error page when i access servlet like
http://localhost:8080/framwork/TestAction
Is there any other change that i should make apart
from web.xml?
servlet is not in any package. Im placing it under
classes folder.

With the servlet mapping you've defined, the correct URL is:
http://localhost:8080/framework/action
not
http://localhost:8080/framework/servlet/action

Servlet Mapping...:(
Posted by BacardiWasabi <se...@yahoo.com>.

Context path - framework
a) when my url is

working fine
b) but when i make change to servlet mapping to above
web.xml as
<servlet-mapping>

<url-pattern>/action</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and invoke
http:...:8080/framwork/servlet/action - im getting
