Thanks for pointing me to login and error pages Max.

After moving and renaming my login and error pages and restarting web-app
several times I finally noticed that I get error message from the 
sax parser about my securityfiltef-config.xml file in my connectionURL in 
the Tomcat I/O log

Errors:
1. the realm-param was closed with > not with />
2. jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.2/security?user=xxx;password=yyy
doesn't work JDBC Driver uses user with name xxx;password=yyy and
no password

The corrected realm is

	<realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm">
 		<realm-param name="driverName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
 		<realm-param name="debug" value="99" />
 		<realm-param name="connectionURL" value="jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.2/security?user=xxx&amp;password=yyy" />
 		<realm-param name="userTable" value="users" />
 		<realm-param name="userNameCol" value="user_name" />
 		<realm-param name="userCredCol" value="user_pass" />
 		<realm-param name="userRoleTable" value="user_roles" />
 		<realm-param name="roleNameCol" value="role_name" />
 	</realm>

I have another question:

I user Struts 1.1 and the /admin/* module which is protected from the
securityfilter to be accessible only for users in admin role.

If I'm not logged in I cannot access the /admin/* module,
but I don't get redirected to login or error page.
The browser just waits on empty page

In my struts-config.xml I define global forward that I use to swith to
admin module

<global-forwards>
 <forward name="admin" contextRelative="true" path="/admin/index.do" redirect="true" />
</global-forwards>

in struts-admin.xml i define action mapping forwarding to index.jsp
    <action-mappings>
        <action path="/index" forward="/index.jsp" />
    </action-mappings>

so when I use the http://localhost:8081/admin/index.do URL in my browser
it waits on blank page.

How can I define an error or other page so the user receives some info 
and doesn't just get a blank browser windows.

I guess maybe this post is more for the struts-user mail list,
but it is secutiryfilter related imho.

Thanks again for the help!
