Login and Sessions

hi everybody
I have huge problems to write a jsp page for a login and also compare password and username with my mySQL Database.
please help my.
I tried it for a lot of days but there is no result.
a registrationformular already exists and this one run.but not the login.
I need help!!!

ok.
so far.Login runs but I already not know how to implements Cookies and sessions.
please help.

Exactly what part of your application is not working, or do you need help with? What will you be using to manage sessions cookies or httpSession. You might do youself a favour by getting a book to read up on these concepts.

the loginfunction run.
but no cookie or sessionhandling.
I have 2 JSP Books but they are not very well and the chapters about sessions and Cookies are very bad and short with examples which not run.
So can me sombody tell how I can manage this problem. or is there someone who can recomment my a good JSP-site, because such books are very expensive.
thanks
this my login.jsp
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Login</TITLE>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="gip.css" type="text/css">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM name="form1" method="post" action="LoginHandler.jsp">
<TABLE border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
