RE: j_security_check



A web client can authenticate a user to a web server using one of the following four mechanisms: HTTP Basic Authentication, HTTP Digest Authentication, HTTPs Client Authentication, Form Based authentication.
 
The way you mention is Form Based authentication,
 
In order for the authentication to proceed appropriately, the action of the login form must always be j_security_check. This restriction is made so that the login form will work no matter which resource it is for, and to avoid requiring the server to specify the action field of the outbound form.
 
In your html page should look like this:
 
<form method="post" action="j_security_check">
      <input type="text" name="j_username">
      <input type="password" name="j_password">
</form>
 
You can find more information about this in Java Servlet Specification Version2.3 - Security chapter. (this document can be download from sun website.
 
Hope this help.
