Submitting a login

[ltcmelo]

Hi,
suppose i have a simple login page like this one.

<FORM action='<%= response.encodeURL("j_security_check")%>'
 method="get">

 Name:<INPUT type="text" name="j_username" />

 Password: <INPUT type="password" name="j_password" />

 <INPUT type="submit" value="Login" />
</FORM>

I got 2 questions:

- What is j_security_check???

- If i want a better encryption, do i have to use Https ????

1. The servlet spec defined action for FORM based authentication.
2. Yes.
