Re: method of implementing a 'login' section in a site
Anson I would suggest using session tracking to keep track of this state. Place the user in your session and have a small function run in the head of your pages checking for this. If no username is found then call, session.invalidate and redirect the user back to the login screen. HTH Kind Regards Schalk Volume4 www.volume4.co.za Dedicated to an OpenSource World
Re: method of implementing a 'login' section in a site
The way i prefer to do it is use a simple db with the user atributes (userid , password , etc), use cookies to check if the user is logged in or not. one thing i had problems with when i first implemented this solution is that the cookies are stored in a browser specific place and you might not be able to access them easilly. a work round to this is to set the cookie path yourself from a methid in the API (i dont have it at the top of my head i will look it up) and get the cookie reference using the location where the cookie is stored Billy --- zeallousbigpond.net.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, Thanks a lot for the email guys!!

Re: method of implementing a 'login' section in a site
Well, what I can tell you what I've done, and then you're free to choose (what a nice thing freedom...). I authenticated the user against a database; if the user is authenticated, then I set a session attribute like (type String): isUserAuthenticated. Then, I wrote two custom tags (isUserAuthenticated, isNotUserAuthenticated) which respectively executed the code within a block/block depending whether the session attribute isUser exists (i.e. != null) or not. Then, in my JSP page, I wrote something like the following: isNotUserAuthenticated forward her to the login page /isNotUserAuthenticated isUserAuthenticated a href=.../a a href=.../a a href=.../a /isUserAuthenticated I discovered this method is also useful to allow 'Administration' functionality, so that similarly you may declared isAdministrator isNotAdministrator Hope this will help, Marco - Original Message - From: zeallousbigpond.net.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 3:00 AM Subject: method of implementing a 'login' section in a site hi, Thanks a lot for the email guys!!
