Using one JSP for form-based authentication

I'm writing about how to use the same login/error page with form-based authentication. Does anyone know which servlet containers this fails on? I guess it wouldn't hurt to know which ones it works on too. You can use this security.war (1.7MB) file to test. Since it's testing the failure page, you don't need to setup a user - but if you want, the role is tomcat. I know this works on Tomcat, so no need to test it.

You might have to change the following value (in web.xml) to use the correct port: <code> <context-param> <param-name>listenPort_http</param-name> <param-value>8080</param-value> </context-param> </code> I just tried it on Sun ONE App Server 7 and it didn't work (server not found error) at first, but when I changed the above value from 8080 to 84, the port I have the appserver running on, everything worked fine. I'm downloading WebLogic 7 and Websphere 5 now to see if it works on them. I'm assuming that if it works on the latest/greatest versions, it can be considered a bug in previous versions ;0)

JBoss 3.2.3/Tomcat seems to have issues with including query string parameters on the login page in web.xml if the login page is itself a secured url--if the login page isn't in a secured area, then things work fine. Basically if the login page is secured, then when you try to access a protected page, you get redirected to the login page, which jboss/tomcat doesn't recognize as the login page because of the parameters, so it gets in a recursive loop of continually requesting the login page.
