hey guys its me again with my own problems well again.. i have been working on a java project.. been long i left java for a while been doing lots of php. I happen to use the tomcat jdbc realm... and i ran into a snag.... here is part of my deployement descriptor:
<security-constraint>
<display-name>library staff</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>librarystaff</web-resource-name>
<description>the library staff that access this resouces</description>
<url-pattern>/libstaff/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>HEAD</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
<http-method>OPTIONS</http-method>
<http-method>TRACE</http-method>
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description/>
<role-name>staff</role-name>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-constraint>
<display-name>administrator</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>adminpage</web-resource-name>
<description>the administrative page of this application</description>
<url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>HEAD</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
<http-method>OPTIONS</http-method>
<http-method>TRACE</http-method>
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description/>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<realm-name/>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/errorpage.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>


.... now when i try to access the following url
http://localhost:8080/opac/libstaff/ManagementPage.jsp
i get prompted with my login page which is expected but so far no matter my values i dont seem to get through to the page...it shows me the error page and back again to login....
my data base got a table called usertable with userid,password and usertype as its attribute.. now i sent up my <Realm> config in my context.xml file so i think everything checks out fine.. but still no success.. can u please figure out the problem.. i have read enough tutorials i still dont seem to get it right.. thanks
