I can set the variable in the session, but how can I get the redirected site
to the session.
The way my authentication is working is this.

I have a form, that passes the form variables to a servlet. Once
authenticated, it gets send the authenticated part of the site.

If I click on a page where the session = null, it will re-direct me to the
login page, which will then do what I stated above
SO how do I get the URL page??

Anthony,
If you have access to the Jason Hunter Servlet book (2nd Ed.) he has an
example
on this very function.

If I remember right (I dont' have it with me here) he does somethings along
the
lines of this.  Create a session for the user if necessary and then add a
variable to it with the url to the page.

When the logon page is processed, upon a valid login the servlet looks for
this
redirect variable and if it exists it deletes it and then redirects the user
to
it.

Hope this helps,
~Matt
