Hello again.
Thanks everyone for the suggestion. it works. I do have one quick
question----does any one have a pice of code that I can use or take a
look at or use as an example. I need to encrypt user password before
inserting them into the database. see code snipet below.
Cheers
Pat
public boolean validateUser(String username, String userpassword)
{
String dbuserid = "";
String dbpasswd = "";
boolean isValidUser = false;
try
{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
}
catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e)
{
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException:");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
try
{
//DriverManager.registerDriver(new
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS="+
"(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = fred)"+
"(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SID =ORA)))",
"dev_user","dev_user");
// Create a Statement and create a query string!
String query = "SELECT USERNAME, PASSWORD FROM USERLOGIN"
+
" where USERNAME = '" + username +
"' and PASSWORD = '" + userpassword + "'";
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery(query);
if (rst.next()) {
dbuserid = rst.getString(1);
dbpasswd = rst.getString(2);
}
if ( username.equals(dbuserid.trim()) &&
userpassword.equals(dbpasswd.trim()) )
{
//We have a successful match of input userid and
//password with a database rec.
isValidUser = true;
} else {
//we did not succeed
isValidUser = false;
}
stmt.close();
conn.close();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
}
return isValidUser;
}
}
