I use JDK1.5 and Tomcat5.5.12, I have three files like follows:
-------index.jsp-----
<html>
<body>
<%
out.println("<H2>Authentication Mechanism "+ request.getAuthType() +" </H2>" );
%>
</body>
</html>
----------web.xml----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>ProJSP Authentication Example</realm-name>
</login-config>
</web-app>
-----tomcat-users.xml----------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<role rolename="superuser"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
<user username="projst" password="projsp" roles="superuser"/>
</tomcat-users>
When run index.jsp,it should pop a validate window,but when I run it,it don't pop a validate window and only shows a message:
Authentication Mechanism null
Why? How to do it?
Thanks in advance!
Why HTTP validate can't work
