Newbie FORM authentication problems with a Struts app - TC 5.0.25
Folks,
Apologies - this may be a Tomcat issue rather than Struts.
I am trying to configure Tomcat FORMS based authentication with a JDBC realm
(MySQL). I have added the MySQL driver to the server.xml and configured the
Login.jsp page thus:
<html:form action="j_security_check" method="POST">
<table width="25%" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><div align="right"><bean:message key="login.userID"/></div></td>
<td><html:text name="j_username" property="userID" size="15"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="right"><bean:message key="login.password"/></div></td>
<td><html:password name="j_password" property="password"
size="15"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<table width="15%" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="50%"><div align="center">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login">
</div></td>
<td width="50%"><div align="center">
<input name="Clear" type="reset" id="Clear" value="Clear">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</html:form>
When I start TC I get the error message "Cannot retrieve mapping for action
/j_security_check". It looks like the "j_security_check" action is being
treated as a normal struts action mapping.
Can anyone throw any light on this?
TIA - Adam

Don't use the Struts specific <html:*> tags. Instead just use the normal
HTML tags. The Struts taglibs are there for your convenience when using
Struts, but j_security_check is not part of Struts. It is part of the
Servlet Spec, and thus implemented by Tomcat. Now if you still want to
be able to use the Validator and the conveniences of the Struts tags,
then you could write an action the simply forwards the request to
j_security_check. I am pretty sure I saw an example somewhere on the
Web. Perhaps someone else knows the URL.
HTH,
Victor

As far as I know TC should treat the "jsecurity_check" action specially - it
should know that this is a authentication request. It seems to me that TC is
not doing this and passing it onto the Struts libs for processing.
Any ideas?
