Assuming you mean V2, a new project has no business using that anyway. In fact it would be laughable for somebody to impose such a requirement while also using code that's a year from being unsupported.

That aside, the login page for the existing UsernamePassword handler relies on a forward to a JSP page or servlet. If you want to do something else, that's a new handler or the use of the External login handler, which still ultimately has to pass through a servlet or JSP anyway. So probably a new handler entirely.
