Hello All, Here is my scenario. I have Tomcat 3.2.4 running on IIS 5.0
I have an html page as my entrance to the website. (http://www.domainname.com/index.html) On this site is a form to login, with you user name and password. When the user clicks submit, they get sent to a servlet that I wrote. This servlet verify's their username and password, and should re-direct them to a certain pace depending on who they are. If I use response.sendRedirect(site); it sends them to the right webpage, but it doesn't seem like the session is created. I test the page to see if there is a valid session, and I get a Null Pointer. Here is what Im doing there. if (userSesson.getValue("userName") == null) { // redirect them to login because the session isn't valid } else { // display the page.. } If I use the rd.forward() method they never get re-directed anywhere Here is my doPost() code... String error = null, site = ("/index.html"); ServletConfig servletConfig = null; ServletContext servletContext = null; RequestDispatcher rd = null; public void doPost (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { // Get the current session object, create one if necessary HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(true); if (Authenticate.verifyUsername(request.getParameter("userName"))) { userSession.putValue("userName", request.getParameter("userName")); if (Authenticate.verifyPassword(request.getParameter("userName"), request.getParameter("password"))) { userSession.putValue("password", request.getParameter("password")); if (Customers.isAcclaim(request.getParameter("userName"))) { if (Customers.isWholesale(request.getParameter("userName"))) { site = "/cocoon/choose.xml"; } else { site = "/cocoon/acclaim/index.xml"; } } else { if (Customers.isWholesale(request.getParameter("userName"))) { site = "/cocoon/yCust/index.xml"; } else { site = "/cocoon/choose.xml"; } } } else { error = "We could not match your Password with your Username, Please re-enter your login information."; userSession.invalidate(); } } else { error = "We could not verify your Username, Please re-enter your login information."; userSession.invalidate(); } servletConfig = getServletConfig(); servletContext = servletConfig.getServletContext(); rd = servletContext.getRequestDispatcher(site); rd.forward(request, response); } What I want to do is this. I want my servlet to re-direct them to the proper page while passing my session to it, so I can verify it in my xml pages. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
