this is my index.jsp

this is my servlet

protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        int count = 0;
        try {

String name = request.getParameter("name");
            String password = request.getParameter("password");

HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);

ZoneDaoImpl zone = new ZoneDaoImpl();
            ArrayList<User> users = zone.getUserDetails(name, password);

Iterator<User> i=users.iterator();

if (i.hasNext()) {

session.setAttribute("username", users.get(0).getUserId());
                count++;

}

if (count > 0) {
                response.sendRedirect("FareSelect.jsp");
            } else {
                response.sendRedirect("index.jsp");
            }

} catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            out.close();
        }
    }

@Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }

it is working properly.
no problem.

1)if someone enter wrong password or username it is redirected to the index.jsp.
I need to add something if he enter incorrect password to the jsp
how to do this?

2) i need to add this to session tracking tooooo?

You don't need to do anything with sessions in your code. The "How do I implement security for my web application ?" section in the ServletsFaq should get you started.

Personally I feel this should be handled in a filter, not a servlet--at least the checking for login status--not the login itself.

Search the web--there are hundreds of examples.

Because you need to check for login on a specific set of pages, and filters are good at that.

Depends on what specific aspect of the problem you're talking about. But no, I wouldn't use a listener for any of this, because the checking for logged in status and logging in are triggered by hitting a URL (handled by filters) and hitting the login URL (handled by servlets).

Don't mess with me you fool! I'm cooking with gas! Here, read this tiny ad:
