There are two ways to handle this login solution: programatic and
declarative security.
With programatic security you could have your welcome.jsp check to see if a
user variable (such as a username) has been set on the session object for a
client, if it hasn't (i.e is null) then forward them to the login page.
(you could also stick the string welcome.jsp into the session as the referer
so you can redirect the login page back it after a successful login).
With declarative security you can specify which pages are secure in your
deployment descriptor for the application, and access to the pages, in
relation to security, will be handled at container rather than application
(as above) level. check the orion reference docs for how to do this.
Hope this moves you in the right direction :)

Subject: RE: Secured Page?
I remember someone posted Login-related question recently. I have a newbie
question on this.
In my web application, I have login1.jsp which calls login2.jsp to handle
the actual login process. I use JDBC-ODBC-Oracle to handle the database
connection. If successfully logged in, the user will be "forwarded" to a
welcome.jsp.
I am wondering how could I secure welcome.jsp so that a user can ONLY access
welcome.jsp by a successful login? I mean a user could just type in
http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/welcom.jsp, for example, to access it.
Someone has metioned the secured page. Could someone explain? Where can I
get the information or code example?
Thanks a lot,
Roland
