controlling j2ee security authentication

[Michelle Popovits <mp...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I would like to control j2ee security in the following way.
1) have my app server use j2ee security for form login (done).
2) have my designated login jsp submit to a struts action (login.do).
3) be able to perform any additional validations I like in the struts login 
action.
4) then, manually invoke the j_security_check (forward?)
5) then, have the originally requested (secured) page displayed after 
successful container validation (as would normally happen when submitting a 
j_security_check page)

Is this possible or am I stuck with the simple j_security_check mechanism. 
It seems that if I don't submit from the page directly to j_security_check 
it doesn't work.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Michelle
