[jetty-users] RequestDispatcher and j_security_check

[Steven Jardine <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am updating my project that uses jetty from 6.1.22 to 
7.2.2.v20101205.  The only problem I am having is with form authentication.

My current app uses a struts login page that does some authentication 
and session processing.  If everything is OK I forward the request to 
j_security_check as follows:

RequestDispatcher dispatcher = 
request.getRequestDispatcher("j_security_check?j_username=" + userName + 
"&j_password=" + password);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

While this worked in 6.1.22, in 7.2.2.v20101205 it gives the following 
error:

HTTP ERROR 404 - Problem accessing /agent/j_security_check - Reason: Not 
Found

Here is the applicable log:

Does anyone know why the request dispatcher cannot find the 
j_security_check when I attempt to forward?  If so, is there a way to 
accomplish a similar result without a lot of refactoring?

Thanks!
