Greetings illustrious list members,
I hope you guys don't mind a rookie type question, as I'm about to ask one.
I am new to JSP, and thought I would learn by converting an existing
application using ASP to use JSP. As I suspected would happen, I've run
into trouble almost immediately.
The effect I'm looking for is this: there is one login page, and then the
rest of the site. If you go to any page in the rest of the site without
first having logged in at the login page, you get redirected to an error
page. I can't figure out how to do this with JSP. I know I could do it
using a bean or two, but I'm trying to avoid that, as a) I want to duplicate
as much as possible the functionality of the ASP, meaning no beans, and b)
I'm pretty new to beans as well, and don't wanna mess with it *grin*.
I tried using pageContext to set a session-scope parameter, but that didn't
seem to work. I tried using jsp:forward with a jsp:param, then using
request.getParameter in the protected page, but that REALLY didn't work.
So... what is the best strategy to accomplish this?
