I have been having a real problem with this way of dong things, I dont normally post problems on here unless I have completely exhausted my resources (Internet Searches and Peer Help).
I am trying to run a demo app that provides form validation through j_security_check action.
I believe everything is configured properly for this method.
The main warning that I am getting is:
Warning: Unable to find component with ID j_username in view.
Warning: Unable to find component with ID j_password in view.
Severe: jdbcrealm.grouperror
Warning: WEB9102: Web Login Failed: com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.login.common.LoginException: Login failed: Security Exception
My index.xhtml page redirects to the login page if an unauthorised view is about to take place.
I know my creds are correct as I created them.
I know this is absolutely not the best method for doing authentication, but i have been asked to do this and have been frustrated for too many hours now.
heres some reference
