I dont know what technologies you apply in your application (Jsp/servlet or both....)

For that I just can only help you some:

Users have to register first.

Create a page that for users to register that including an option to send/receive messages... (can be a HTML page as basic) and submit informations to a Servlet (RegisterServlet) that store information to Database

After loging in

Create a login page and submit info to a LoginServlet to check username/password...If login succeed, store user's information to Session(for later use) and redirect or forward to a Servlet(UserMessageListServlet) that shows a list of messages.

In UserMessageListServlet to could get username from the Session that you set before to load all message of that user....

That all I can tell you for shortly, if you need more help,just email or post your problem here

Nice beginning

You can complete your requirement using servlets and jsp's.Try downloading Tomcat and learn servlets and jps first ,you will yourself come to know as how to make this application.
All the best.

I'm using Servlets in my application and HTML page for User registration and i have taken following info for registration.
1)first name

3)login name

You can create a session and store the info in session attribure.

HTTP is a request response protocol.So if you want to have something to send message then the client have to repeatedly look for any new message for a given user in the server.
