It depends on the requirements and the purpose of the application.
There are at least two popular kinds of authentication and authorization: basic authentication and form based authentication. Basic authentication goes through the HTTP headers and is configureable in web.xml. Form based authentication goes through POST (GET is possible, but discouraged as the paramerters will be visible in the in request URI otherwise) and is configureable in web.xml (j_security_check) as well as with an own solution, generally using a database, but customized configuration files on disk are also possible.
Google using those two keywords and you'll find a lot of information.
