well, rather than making the login page the first page that comes up, you
should make sure that it is the first page in your site. In that page, yo
u
should check if the user if logged in and if not, forward the request to 
the
login page, with enough information to find the first page back. Since yo
u
check this in every page on your site you dont need to start the user in
that page, they will be forwarded there automatically if they are not log
ged
in.

Although I have not used WAR files, Tomcat 4 documentation says:

Copy the web application archive file into directory C:\Tomcat\webapps\.
When Tomcat is started, it will automatically expand the web application
archive file into its unpacked form, and execute the application that way
.
This approach would typically be used to install an additional applicatio
n,
provided by a third party vendor or by your internal development staff, i
nto

an existing Tomcat installation. NOTE - If you use this approach, and wis
h
to update your application later, you must both replace the web applicati
on
archive file AND delete the expanded directory that Tomcat created, and t
hen

restart Tomcat, in order to reflect your changes.
