Hi,

          I got the solution for "invalid reference to
login page when try to access the protected jsp page",
i like to share this with you people,we can solve this
problem using cookies these are the steps i followed

1.first do the login authentication like this, here
sftp/main is a protected(if you need more info
reagrding protected page please refer to
<security-constraint> tag of tomcat web.xml) page this
page you will be able to access only after successful
authentication

 curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt --cacert
ca-cert.crt -d
"j_username=myname&j_password=mypassword&LoginButton=Login"
 https://<host-name>/sftp/main/j_security_check

2.After the authentication you will be able to access
which ever page you want by passing the cookies to the
server,in my case i need to access the file download
page by passing
the request parameter "Function=Download"

   curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d
"Function=Download" --cacert ca-cert.crt
https://<host-name>/sftp/main/

if you need more info please feel free to mail me.

Thanx and Regards

Shafeek
