As the previous author said it's better to ask Acegi questions on it's forum. You can just drop the jar in but you will need any dependent jar's as well. Have a look at the examples that ship with Acegi.

Ok.I have included the jar.
Now i would be using the filters for authentication.

If you want to configure Acegi you have to do a little more that just drop the JAR in. As I said previously the examples that ship with Acegi and reference manual are your first points of contact.

Hi,
As mentioned in the previous post, i am actually going through the document, but stuck in a place.
The param value is a class that would implement javax.servlet.Filter.
Whether i should create a custom filter class for that or acegi provides such a default implementation for login authentication and maintaining the user information in the session.

Yes Acegi provides the filters for you. Have a look at the example tutorial application, it shows you all of this working. I'd recommend downloading 1.0.3 however as this example is broken in 1.0.4.
