Specify initial page following mod_osso login for JSP application?

Question

I'm developing a JSP application that is stand-alone from Portal, but that is protected via mod_osso. (What's the proper term for this - its sort of a Partner application, really an External application, but not registered w/ Portal at all...) Following mod_osso validation, if the login page was brought up (ie, the user was not signed when the application page was requested), I'd like the user to be taken to a 'default' application page (where I can retrieve other user info from the db for use in subsequent pages of the app.) Is there a way to specify this w/ mod_osso? (ie, after login, take user to a specific page.) I could put a flag in the session, check it on each page (ie, Boolean hasVisitedHomePage or such), then redirect to the home page if its false, but would rather not do this if there is a smarter method.
Thanks,
Jim

Following are the steps to use SSO with an J2EE application:
Steps to enable SSO/OID user authentication to your J2EE application
1)     Deploy your apps to Oracle9iAS mid-tier instance e.g. mid-tier-host
2)     Connect to your SSO server in your infrastructure host as follows:
http://inf-host:<port>/pls/orasso/orasso.home and
Login as orcladmin. The default password should be same as your IAS_ADMIN password
3)     Click on SSO Server Administration and then Administer Partner Applications
4)     Click on Add Partner application
5)     Enter the following information for your environment and click on Apply:
Home URL: http://inf-host:<port>/osso_login_success
Success URL: Home Page for URL for your apps which you want to secure
Logout URL: http:// inf-host :<port>/osso_logout_success
6)     Logon to EMWebsite for the Mid-tier Oracle9iAS Instance
Select the HTTP Server -> Advanced Properties -> mod_osso.conf and add the following. Please make appropriate change for your environment
<Location /context-to-secure >
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
</Location>
And then restart HTTP Server
7)     Now when you access your apps, the logon screen will appear
hope this helps
