Sorry, the organization-person in me rebelled when seeing this code:
> > session.setAttribute("USER", szLoginName);
> > session.setAttribute("APPLICATION", new Integer(appID));
> >
> > RequestDispatcher rd =
> > getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("index.jsp");
> > rd.forward(request,response);
Pardon the curmudgeon, but YIKES! YICK! SPIT! BLEAH! This is without looking
at the code, which I haven't bothered to do, but cursory glances at the code
makes me react. Note the variable names: "appID", "rd", "request",
"response"... "szLoginName". Somewhere there's a documentation project
that's spinning in its grave. I really hope nobody uses this kind of mixing
and matching in the real world, because if so, there's a project doomed to
horrible maintenance costs. I rarely say "never do..." but NEVER DO THIS.
Java is strongly typed, which eliminates the need for Hungarian; "rd" is a
short form, while "request" is a long form... Lady Consistency is begging
for "loginname", "request", "response", "dispatcher" or "name", "rd", "req",
"resp", or even "nLogin", "rqUser", "rspUser", "dispIndex". (If you're GONNA
use Hungarian, use it right and avoid embedding the useless implementation
types into the names, which is a bastardization of Hungarian notation
itself, hard to imagine as it is.)
