Form based authentaction but not for static resources

Tomcat fans,

I have a (I assume basic) question wrt servlet/tomcat
authentication/authorization

First let me indicate I would like my URL to always be something like
http://<host>/username

I have configured a security-constraint like

<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>myapp</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>

I would however like to have some static resources accessible without any
authentication. Typically these would be identified with
http://<host>/resouce/appstyle.css etc.

The reason is that I would like to have the login page use an external
stylesheet and/or some images.

Is that at all possible? Any guidelines how to achieve that?

Thanks,

Peter
