The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Session Login And Logout

Asked by keneticintrouble in Java Server Pages (JSP)

Tags: jsp, session, login, logout

Hi there,

I’m currently on an application that has an administrative module. I’m experiencing problems in clearing the sessions so as to log a user out and also to login as an admin and as a user of the application. I’m using a Java Bean for this purpose.


This is the code to check to see if there is a login session as an administrator or as a user. If there is no login session, the page will display a noAuthority.jsp ….. else it will show the page contents.

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" import="java.sql.*" errorPage="" %>

<jsp:useBean class = "Beans.User" id = "userid" scope = "application"></jsp:useBean>
<jsp:setProperty name = "userid" property = "*"/>

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>

<%if (session.isNew()==true)
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("login.jsp"));%>

<%
boolean userAdmin = userid.checkUser();
if (userAdmin == false)
{%> <jsp:forward page = "noAuthority.jsp" /> <%}
else
{%>
<%
String loginName = userid.getUserName();
String loginPass = userid.getUserPass();
%>

Username: <% out.println(loginName); %> <br>
Password: <% out.println(loginPass); %> <br>
<h5> Hello, <%= userid.getUserName() %> You are Authorized! </h5> <br>
<b>Session ID: </b><%= session.getId() %><br>
<a href = "LogOut.jsp">logout test</a>

<%}%>

</body>
</html>


This is the Login_action page to process the login session with validation for username and password. The admin username is hardcoded and usernames are stored in a MySQL database.


<%if (session.isNew()==true)
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("login.jsp"));%>

<!-- Validation Page for Login-->
<!-- Open connection and execute query -->
<%
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "root", "");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
%>

<% ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("Select * from users"); %>
<%
boolean userValidate, passValidate;
userValidate = false;
passValidate = false;
String name = " ";

if (rs != null)
      {while (rs.next())
            {name = rs.getString("Username");
                        if (name.equals(request.getParameter("usernm")))
                              {userid.setUserName(name);
                              userValidate = true;
                              session.setAttribute("Pass-name", name);
                              session.setMaxInactiveInterval(60);
                               String pass = rs.getString("password");
                                    if (pass.equals(request.getParameter("pass")))
                                          {userid.setUserPass(pass);
                                          passValidate = true;}}}}

if (userValidate==true && passValidate == true)
      {response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("success.jsp"));}
            
else if (userValidate==true && passValidate == false)
{out.println("Password Error! Pls Try Again.");
%> <a href = "login.jsp"> BACK </a> <%}

else
{out.println("User Name Error! Pls Try Again.");}

%>




This is the logout page code. Basically clears the session created during the login.

<body>

<%if (session.isNew()==true)
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("login.jsp"));%>

<%session.invalidate();%>
<h4> You were being Logged out </h4> <br>
<a href = "login.jsp"> Login </a><br>
<b>Session ID: </b><%= session.getId() %>
</body>


Currently, the problem that I’m facing is that when I logout of the application, I’m still able to access a page by typing the URL of the page into the browser twice. For example,
http://localhost:8080/newtemplate/create_user.jsp

Also, sometimes, there is an error page that shows the message; forward statement cannot proceed because a response has been committed.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
