You have a number of options depending on your environment
-If your server supports ACL you may create an ACL for the
html
-Move the test.htm out of the public docs directory and have the
servlet print it out directly has part of the response (instead of
having a separate response this could be part of the servlet)
-If you have the latest and greates server (JSDK2.1/JSP.92) then (if
you don't want to use ACL and would prefer a more application specific
authentication) you may use sessions and JSP. If someone accesses
test.jsp it checks for a valid session. If no session the user is
forwarded (as apposed to redirected) to login.jsp. login.jsp checks
name/password against account DB and if successful creates session and
forwards to test.jsp.
