[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - forms authentication class cast exception

[boggle]

I have to say I'm a total JBoss n00b and this may be a stupid misconfiguration problem, but I'm trying to get forms authentication working in a basic sample app (JBoss 4.2.0, NetBeans 5.5.1). 

The problem occurs when I submit the login form with my username/password. I get a blank page, and the server spits out the following stacktrace:


  | 11:14:47,109 ERROR [CoyoteAdapter] An exception or error occurred in the container during the request processing
