Adding Login Functionality to the Application

The login functionality used in the sample application is a simple example of application-managed security. It is not a full Java EE security implementation, but simply used as an example in the sample application.

To implement this simple login functionality, you must perform the following tasks:

• Creating a Method to Authenticate Users

• Creating a Login Page

• Preparing Error Reports for Failed Logins

• Creating the Login Interface

• Creating a JSP Page to Handle Login Action
