Mix form based and basic authentication in one web-app?

[st...@wissel.net]

Hi there,

I have two servlets. One is configured to listen to "/forms/*" and the 
other to "/documents/*".
I configured a security realm, so users need to use form based 
authentication when accessing "/forms/*".
Can I, in the same web.xml configure a second security realm that uses 
basic authentication? We need the basic since the /documents/* servlet 
serves webDAV and Webfolders doesn't do form based authentication. Would 
that work?
:-) stw

No can do. webapps are allowed no more than 1 form of authentication.

Maybe use two web applications?
