Java Application

I am trying to create a web application called hotdotcom. It is an example from Hall’s Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages Volume 2: Advanced Technologies - Second Edition. It is found in Chapter 3: Declarative Security – 3.1 Form-Based Authentication.

The web application uses container-managed security: From-based. The web.xml is below. I am running Tomcat 3.3.1 on my PC. When I click a protected URL I receive the login form just fine, but when I fill it out I am always sent to my login-error.jsp page. I have added four users to Tomcat’s <install_dir>conf/tomcat-users.xml file. (Also below)

I receive the following statement in the Tomcat log:
2013-02-25 08:30:22 - Http10Interceptor: Starting on 8080
2013-02-25 08:30:22 - Ajp12Interceptor: Starting on 8007

I am trying to create a web application called hotdotcom. It is an
example from Hall’s Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages Volume 2:
Advanced Technologies - Second Edition. It is found in Chapter 3:
Declarative Security – 3.1 Form-Based Authentication.

The web application uses container-managed security: From-based. The
web.xml is below. I am running Tomcat 3.3.1 on my PC. When I click a
protected URL I receive the login form just fine, but when I fill it out
I am always sent to my login-error.jsp page. I have added four users to
Tomcat’s <install_dir>conf/tomcat-users.xml file. (Also below)

I receive the following statement in the Tomcat log:
2013-02-25 08:30:22 - Http10Interceptor: Starting on 8080
2013-02-25 08:30:22 - Ajp12Interceptor: Starting on 8007
2013-02-25 08:30:22 - Ajp13Interceptor: Starting on 8009

You should have a lot more log in the two log files produced by Tomcat.
tomcat-users.xml
<tomcat-users>

<!-- 2/4/2013 SDU Added on 2/4/2013 -->
<role rolename="registered-user" />
<role rolename="administrator" />

<user name="john" password="nhoj" roles="registered-user" />
<user name="jane" password="enaj" roles="registered-user" />
<user name="juan" password="nauj" roles="administrator" />
<user name="juana" password="anauj" roles="administrator,registered-user" />

<!-- Original contents of tomcat-users.xml-->

<user name="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat" />
<user name="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1" />
<user name="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" />
</tomcat-users>

I am wondering whether the reference to two not defined
roles may cause problems.

Could you try fix that?
