How to provide authentication for an user who via a screen logs in to my application that uses REST Services, is servlet filter the best practice ? I have already implemented Oauth for the applictions that need access to REST services. This is specifically for user as a client, not application as a client. One application instance can have multiple users. OAuth typically deals with application as client.

        You can have a username and an encrypted key in POST parameters or appended in the URL (GET) for authorization.
