Setting up a secure area

Hey all  

This is probably one of the stupidest posts of the week on here but I'm struggling to find the link online that tells me how to use a Realm to restrict access to a certain folder: /secure/.

I've set up the realm as stated (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/realm-howto.html), using a Data Source Realm which already works, and now I'm trying to set up my system so that only people with a certain user_role can access the secure folder. I've set up the login page in a /login/ folder using a j_security_check form but now I can't find the link of how to use the login pages to log into the secure area, or the code to make the /secure/ folder secure. I've looked everywhere but can't for the life of me find it!

Can anyone point me in the right area?
