RE: AS400Servlet class

Mike --

If you override the bypassAuthentication(HttpServletRequest) method in
your class and always return true, then the validateAuthority method
never even gets called.  In your subclass, just include:

public boolean bypassAuthentication(HttpServletRequest req)
{
  return true;
}

and you should be fine.

Is this what you want to do?
