I am looking for server specific information. By action, there can only
be two possibilities
(1) j_security_check is a servlet for which there should be some
mapping information in web.xml
(2) j_security_check is a Struts action for which there must be a
mapping in struts-config.xml
it's none of the above. However, if you want to know how it is
implemented, I would assume that it's kind of a servlet. Not a real
servlet, though, because j_security_check is a relative location, so
it's not mapped in a standard way.
In short, don't be surprised if you don't find anything on your server
concerning j_security_check. If you do, it definitely won't be in *your*
web.xml (where you should find some other information concerning form
based login, like the form login page), but rather in a server specific
global configuration file.
I would still say that the best thing is to consider it what it is: a
standard action specified when you want to use form based login. If you
want to know more I would say a very good knowledge of Websphere is needed
