    form based login

    charlesrk

      hi all
      i made a WAR file with security mappings. I gave
      <auth-constrint>
      <role-name>authorizedUser</role-name>
      <auth-constraint>

      i made two files
      users.properties with userneme:password

      and roles.properties with
      authorizedUser:username

      and placed these files in /jboss/conf/jetty directory

      but on submitting the login form the following error comes in the browser

      HTTP ERROR: 500 Internal Server Error
      java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String
      RequestURI=/compass/protected/index.html

      and in server

      [Jetty] Security- User: suresh is authenticated
      [Jetty] Security- User: suresh
      [Jetty] WARNING: GET /compass/protected/index.html HTTP/1.1

      i'd like to know the following

      1 format of the users.properties & roles.properties
      2 where to put these files (in WAR or in /jboss/conf/jetty)
      3 whether we have to make any Realm mapping.

      i am using the jboss 2.4.3-jetty 3.1.3-1.

      regards
