You have a valid point regarding the need for "remember me" options
however that should be a matter of consideration for the Servlet
specification first.
Until then you cannot expect GF or any other Servlet container to have
such a feature. It would need to be implemented at the application level.
A possible solution would be to send a Cookie with some sort of token to
the user browser. The cookie with the token, could be used
to redirect the user to protected resources. The token may have a key to
a hash of the user's login credential information; this information may
be included as
parameters when redirecting to the protected resources.
