Ashok,

Have you turned on global Security?

The FormLoginServelt is available only when Securiyt is enabled and
your application states that it it uses FormBased Login in the web.xml

FYI: The implementation of j_security_check is the FormBasedLogin
Servlet.

Hi Phil

I didn't enable security in WAS and was able to resolve the same by
enabling it. Thanks for mentioning the same.

btw, FormLoginServlet class is part of websphere library and is
present in securityimpl.jar under WebSphere/AppServer/lib.
FormLoginServlet is being used by WAS for form based authentication.

Thanks
ashok.
