Jan,
The primary purpose is security/authentication. Essentially it traps all requests and checks to see if the user is logged in. Additionally, I was looking to add the following functionality:
- If the user is [b]not[/b] logged in, but requests a valid page (i.e. a non-404), the page request is saved, and re-issued after successfully logging in.
In the current form, the resuming works for regular page requests, and .jsp's. However, if the user attempts to access a Servlet, that does not resolve to an actual file, so the resuming does not take place.
Cheers,
- Tim
