I am using Tomcat with Apache on Linux. I have a working example of how
I solve the login problem using some slightly different constructs. It
works quite well, so you may want to try it. I save the user login name
as a session attribute and then determine that the attribute exists with
a non-null value before letting anyone in to any other screen except the
login screen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<%@page language="java" import="java.util.*"%>
<% boolean found = false; // initialize variable
String attr;
Enumeration attributes = session.getAttributeNames(); // get all
attributes
while (attributes.hasMoreElements()) { // loop through all attributes
attr = (String) attributes.nextElement();
if (attr.equals("CHTuser")) {
String uName = (String) session.getAttribute("CHTuser"); // find
user name
if (uName.length()>0) { // proper entrance
found = true;
}
break; // terminate the loop
}
}
if (!found) { // improper entrance => send to login
%>
<jsp:forward page="CHT_Login.jsp?status=improper" />
<% } %>
