Simple j_security_check example not working

["Jaspreet.Singh" <Ja...@upco.co.uk>]

Hi Guys
Attached is a simple example of form based login I'm trying to get working
on Tomcat 4.0.3 and it doesn't!!! I've checked the archives and noticed
someone else had the same problem and never got past it! Anyway if you type
the url
http://localhost:8080/SCJWD/servlet/secret
You get re-directed to the form based login page and if you type in the
correct username 
and password (tomcat, tomcat) you get an error - and I quote 

type Status report
message Invalid direct reference to form login page
description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect
(Invalid direct reference to form login page).

Am I missing something somewhere .. Because I copied this example straight
out of the java servlets book.

If you use incorrect credentials then the behaviour is as expected.

Cheers
Jas
