hi,
in my question there is only one application.
i have some common files in the ROOT directory and other files in different
subdirctories.
common files are files which check accessrights,error page etc.
i would like to check the accessrights to the pages in the subdirectory by
including a file in ROOT and if the user doesn't have access he should be
forwarded to a page in the ROOT directory asking the user to log in.
ROOT -> MAIN
ROOT has accessrights.jsp and login.jsp
And there is a display.jsp in the MAIN directory.
accessrights.jsp should be included in display.jsp so that users access
rights can be checked (using username,password database)
If someone tries to access display.jsp thru browser. if the user does not
have access user should be forwared to login.jsp in the ROOT directory.
hope my question is clear now.
