Can I do this in login.jsp?

[Gerry Duhig <ge...@nectar.demon.co.uk>]

I want login.jsp to

take the user input username and pasword,

pass them to a servlet to carry out some specialist actions including
writing a cookie

then pass the input to j_security_check so that authentication takes place.

Is that possible? Anyone got an example I can see?

Yes it is possible.  In your jsp, you can have a form with an action that 
call the servlet to create the cookie/validate the user id and password.
I personally don't like to save the password in the cookie as I don't feel 
that the right thing to do.

I didn't see any answers! Does that mean its not possible? Or is just not
the right thing to do?

I really need to get something sorted soon.

Help!  Desperation creeping in here!

Thanks
