jsp authentication
Hi All,
At the moment I am calling stored procedure and passing it username and password from login form. Than if login credentials are valid I set session variable called "username" to value of username from the login form.
This works just fine. the only thing is that my HTML code is cluttered with Java code. I want to be able to create a custom tag to do authentication than all I had to do would be to include that tag into every page that needs authentication. Question is: How I access session object from my tagHandler class?
Form based (container) authentication is not an option because my password is hash of username + password that user supplies. (As far as I understand containter authentication can only work if you have plain text passwords).
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Midrago
