hi duke martin, the elves told me you had passed away but I didn't believe
them.
i use a database to do that, with the sessionid. you can just use the session
but i prefer the database to keep track of who logged in and when.
so i have a table called UserSessions
username
timecreated
ip (so you can track em down :))
sessionid
use req.getSession(true).getId().toString() to get the session id.
so when they log in add the record to the database. to get the current user
just query
select username from UserSessions where sessionid = '" + sessionid + "'" order
by timecreated (the loop through the resultset and use the last record to make
sure you get the latest log-in in case someone has logged in twice from the
same browser)
hope this helps!
