J_security_check interceptor

["Ramu, Vinod" <X2...@southernco.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to intercept the submit action of login.jsp. I am using FORM
authentication. The plan is to wrap the response in the Servlet Filter
to intercept "j_security_check" action to identify the username,
password and role to create a user object. In this way user profile is
available for future authorization process. 

I tried to do so but failed to get the "j_security_check" action to
trigger my filter. I have my filter mapping set to
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>. The fact is that the filter is triggered
only after the authentication process is completed by the container for
every request but not during the authentication process.

Could anybody please suggest how to get this implemented? 
I would prefer a very generic solution that works across different
servers.

Thanks,
VinodRamu
