I am trying to create a site that uses a login process. I have already gotten hibernate to work and am recieving a valid login from my database. I need to put a filter in to check if a user is logged in. If they are not redirct the user back to the sign in page. How do I check to see if they have a valid login? I shouldn't have to do it against the database if I am doing that in the Login Servlet or should I? My servlet gets a hibernate session does a specific query, places the results into a list and then the results are placed into a http session. here is my doFilter code:

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
logger.debug("Starting doFilter()");

HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)request;
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse)response;

String email = req.getParameter("email");
String password = req.getParameter("password");

if (email != null && password != null){

chain.doFilter(req,res);
}

How do I check if they are logged in?
Please help

Pull the results from the session and redirect if they are not logged in. Remember to return from method when redirecting instead of continuing the chain.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
