hi friends....

i have a problem in writing code for logout...

i have written..

session.invalidate();

and now redirected to the Login page for Re-login...

but when i type in the userID and password it givrs error msg like...

http error 408: request timed out..

it is because of the direct reference to the login form from the protected area...

i am using the tomcat server for authenticaion..

please help me how should i incvalidate the authentication...and how to get new session for new login...


Regards

If you want to invalidate the session then write the code like this
session.invalidate();

session = any session object

Here i am giving you a sample code to login and logout from the session.
Here i am using a Map of users for login.
But i don't know how to invalidate a session that is new. (isNew() returns true). But i will find out the problem and send to you in the next reply.

Here is the code :-

index.html


login.jsp


MyServlets.LoginServlet



MyServlets.ShowMovieServlet


MyServlets.LogoutServlet


web.xml

"Sreeraj G H",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

The declaritive authentication mechanism that J2EE provides is resource level authentication , with which you can restrict resources (URL's) to only authenticated users and the authentication is declaritive.In case of tomcat releams will take care of the authentication and will not create any session.

For Authentication of an web application , I would suggest you to go for some session based solution.Create session on successful authentication and then go with your approach of invalidation after logout.

even if i work according to your suggestion, the problem is still there because invalidating the session is not enough to Logout....

i should logout of the authenication that i have logged in....


how should i do that?

My best shot..

Container's Authentication is request based , I do not think any state is maintained.Whenever you request for a resource , which is constrained , servers does a authentication and the request is populated with stuffs like usename and role for use in code (methods are there in HTTPServletRequest)
and after the response is sent , the request is destroyed so as the information about the authentication.

Please correct if wrong.

Whenever you ask for a secure resource , then the browser asks for user credentials.If authentication is successful then the request object is created and populated with the username and roles , those can be used from the code.
once the request and response objects are created then those are passed on to the resource ,for which the request came.After processing when the response buffer is flused ,both the objects are destroyed so as the authenticaion information.
