Hi,
First of all, I would like to say that Im a newbie to Java, too, but I
recently came to a common problem. It depends on what JSP interpreter you
are using - I made some tests with Tomcat, and found two ways to solve the
problem. The first one is to use the Tomcat's usernames and passwords, and
there is a way to make your app "protected" by putting it in the WEB.XML
file in the app's WEB-INF directory (see Servlet2_2 specification on SUN's
javasoft page, and the demo which comes with Tomcat, it's called Security) -
you can set login page and error page there. The other way is my idea, and
Im not quite sure how secure it is - its said in the documentation that the
WEB-INF directory is not visible to a client by any chance. That means (in
my opinion) that you could place a users list there (if not in the
database), and it should be secure. Then you can make the login check by
code.

Regards,
Stefan
