Request Dispatcher forward to j_security_check not working

           Summary: Request Dispatcher forward to j_security_check not
                    working
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: matt@raibledesigns.com


I'm trying to use the following concept to encrypt my password before 
authenticating (b/c password in db in encrypted).

http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg22257.html

<snip>
String req = "j_security_check?j_username=" +
             form.getUsername() + "&j_password=" +
             StringUtil.encodeString(form.getPassword());

RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher(req);
rd.forward(request, response);
</snip>

In Tomcat 4.0.1, 4.0.2 and the nightly build, this results in the following 
error:

Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 - HTTP Status 404 - /j_security_check

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /j_security_check

description The requested resource (/j_security_check) is not available.

This code works GREAT in Tomcat 3.2.4.
