I think, it is a fault in Cactus: "not implemented yet".

AFAIK, the client-server protocol for the form-based authentication
have not been specified in detail, so, many possible implementations exist.
It seems that Tomcat changed the implementation
in a way Cactus mishandles the protocol with Tomcat.
I think the new protocol of Tomcat is a possible one,
and issue is in Cactus side.
