Hi Srini:
I havent studied your code carefully, but thought would offer another solution
which is really simple and has worked well for me:
Step 1: in the login page, set a session variable, say "GoodUser" to, say,
"True".
Step 2: In the doPost, do the foll:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws
ServletException, IOException{
HttpSession thisSession = req.getSesion(false); //note: "false" is
important!
if(session == null) resp.sendRedirect(completePathTpLoginPage);
else {
String goodUser = (String)sesion.getValue("GoodUser");
if ((goodUser != null) && (goodUser.equalsIgnoreCase("True")){
//You're off to the races: do what you "normally" do for
doPost, this is a good user who has logged in..
}
else resp.sendRedirect(completePathTpLoginPage);
} //end doPost
You will need to do a similar thing in your doPost (to prevent folks from maybe
bookmarking your servlet URL and then accessing it directly.)
Hope this helps.
