I am wanting to start using Resin instead of Tomcat for my personal use and I am having a problem getting Forms authentication to work. Using the code I am posting below, I always get the error.jsp page returned even though I am using the correct username and password and I don't know why. I have tried both the XMLAuthentication and the JDBCAuthentication and both return the error page. The code below is for the XMLAuthentication.
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/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

resin-web.xml

login.jsp

In my resin-web.xml file I have commented out the JDBCAuthentication part and I am using the <user> tag to specify the user with roles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I figured out that I had to add
<password-digest>none</password-digest>
because if I don't it uses MD5 by default.

With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
