Coding login

Hi i currently have a customer table including username / password etc. I want the browser to remember the person logged in. I'm aware that i could use a javabean to store the data and set the scope as session to do this, but i was under the impression that it better to use the session object. can someone give me a quick idea of how to code a simple logon using this.

This is the best way to do it:

cheers thats helpful but i was wondering if it was better to use the session object. session.setattribute(name, name) etc.

when the person logs in you store the username in avariable in the next form. then use session.

sesson.setAttribute("sessionvariable","value");

then sessionvariable can be your own var name. value is which value you want store. If giving a variable then dont give "". Then in any form where you want to retrive the value give

String str=""+session.getAttribute("sessionvariable");

the value retrieved from session is not string hence we add a "" with the session.getA... to convert it to string.

:rolleyes:
