Back That did the trick. Thanks a lot.
Is there a setting on my laptop I can change, so that I do not have to change all the links?

If FORM authentication only works after encoding the url then the browser is probably rejecting the cookie (JSessionId) that is normally used to maintain a session. If this is the case then every link should also be encoded. Actually, this is good practise anyway (encodeURL does nothing if cookies ARE being used to maintain state). If tomcat can't use cookies and the url isn't encoded there is no way for session info to be retained between requests and a new (unauthenticated) session is started. This seems to be what you see when
you hit test2.jsp.
HTH,
Jon
