Simple authentication example?

[Martin Holmes <mh...@uvic.ca>]

Hi there,

I'm just getting started with Cocoon and trying to figure out how to 
protect a pipeline with a very basic authentication method. The 
authentication-fw example is confusing me a bit -- I'm not sure what the 
relationship is between flow and authentication. Does anyone know of a 
very simple example or explanation somewhere? I just want to get a 
username and pw from a login form, check it against hardcoded strings, 
and protect a pipeline with it. I've read the doc here:

<http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/developing/webapps/authentication.html#Multiple%2Bprotected%2Bdocuments>

but I get lost around the point of "authentication-resource", which 
seems to assume I'll be using a Java class or an external resource for 
authentication.

Cheers,
Martin
