Extension

The J2EE FORM Authentication hook allows you to handle form-based authentication requests from inside AJAX-driven applications, to avoid page reloads. This reduces significantly the overhead of restarting the application. The hook installs automatically, then intercepts all Ext.Ajax requests and asks the user to provide authentication credentials when needed. The authenticated server's response is transparently forwarded to the originating request when the authentication succeeds.

Usage

Download Ext.ux.J2EEAuth library
Include j2eeauth.js after all Ext libraries
Modify your web.xml application descriptor to be ready for AJAX (see the examples inside examples folder; a sample servlet is included)
