I know this sounds really elementary stuff but im having REAL trouble doing it! Im trying to do some simple FORM authentication (based on a session) from a JDBC linked database... I know I can use webserver to control it, but i want to make it strictly java code - no EJB's, no webserver realmz... Authentication must be SIMPLE, but relatively SECURE... Im sick of buying $$$ books with hugely complicated code examples for 'only' apache webservers on a UNIX station etc...
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good URL that has example code i can adapt??
