Jian,
I think you are approaching this wrong. I am not exactly sure what you
mean by 'secured'.
If you mean that the identity of the user needs to be checked before the
page is returned, then you mean 'access control' In this case, you should
probably use the web server's access control capabilities to control this.
(What web server are you using?) If the list of valid users changes more
dynamically or is restricted to only your particular servlet, then you
should have the servlet access a file or DB of valid users and enforce the
access control itself. In this case you would still not do this in the
init() method but do it in the service method (or doGet() or doPost()).
If you intend 'secure' to mean that no one else can intercept the data sent
back in the response, then you mean you want to encrypt the response. In
that case, you would then need a SSL library such as what Brad suggested in
order to SSL encrypt the response.
In either case, you don't need to send a response from the init() method
itself.
Regards,
Richard
