Not to hijack this thread, but you certainly can use JSF for a login page. I do it with Core JSF web apps, as well as with Woodstock and ICEFaces web apps.
It lends pretty well to Woodstock since it utilizes security on /faces/* by default, you can get your login.jsp to be rendered by the faces Servlet and still be able to access the /theme/* Servlet to display the nice webuijsf: components on your login page.

First of all you can't use a Java Server Faces page as your login
page; second of all you are doing the redirect to the login page,
which will not work.
Where are your settings for the pages you are trying to protect
in your web.xml?
