If I have understood you, you want your users authenticated through a HTML
form where they have to fill in a login/password field.
One possible solution is as follows
- if the user tries to run a servlet which requires authentication and he
has not logged in (you know this from the users session), redirect him to
the login page with resp.sendRedirect("THE URL") (the resp object is got
through the service,doGet,doPost methods)
- use servlet sessions to track the users login status (logged in or not)
- if the users login and password is correct, store an "loged in"
information to the users session so you know that this user has logged in
Read about session creation etc. in some servlet tutorial. If you need more
info just ask
