Hi,
You can map a filter on /myapp/admin/* which check the presence of a valide UserBean in the session. The login action put a valide UserBean in he session and the logout action remove it.
Thanks for the good idea Carl. I'm trying to get this working. I want to define two filters. A UserFilter which just creates an aynonymous user object if none exists yet and an AdminFilter which filters all requests for the mapping /admin/*.
Somehow I can't get it to work. I've been checking different documents, I've been cutting and pasting code from Sun's website but it doesn't work.
Here's my filter definition in web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>
<web-app>
<filter>
<filter-name>UserFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>ch.ctc.support.common.UserFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>UserFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/execute/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>...
If i start up tomcat the following exception is thrown:
SEVERE: Parse error in application web.xml
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Filter mapping must specify either a <url-pattern> or a <servlet-name>
