Line 11 of your code


I think this will always create a new HttpSession always because you have passed in the parameter 'true', if you pass in 'false'(which is also the default)
an HttpSession will be created only once when the page is requested and no new sessions will be created and your filter can capture the correct user information.

It would be good if somebody else can also verify this and correct me if I am wrong.

Ok,

If I understand it right, if your user is not authenticated(logged in ) then you want to redirect him to page 1

So First, check if a user session exists or not
Second, if the user session exists , then check the incoming request, if it is not from page1 then redirect to page1
If user session does not exists , then redirect user to page1


Hope this helps

I try run my page, but it loop infinite? And The page actually didnt required the user to login because is the resetpassword page Page one required user enter username and proceed to page 2 enter more details. So, in this case i wish to prevent user typing in url to access page2. So, do i still need to check the session?

I modified the code assuming you enter the attribute 'user' in the session after the user enters the username on Page1

Just a one line check to see if the "user" attribute is in session, if yes continue to page2 else redirect to page1

Check how your adding the attribute "user" in the session

Hoe chin,

You have to add the "user" to the session in your action method if you want to recover it on Page2

Modify your action method to add the user value to the session attributes.



Let me know if I you already do this at some other point in your code

Thanks for your helps, I can make it link to Page1 when i run Page2 or Page 3. From Page2 i can get the value of what the user key in in page1. But if i didnt key in anything in Page1 to start the session i try key in the url Page2 it still link me to Page2. Sorry i am beginner. I realised that Even if i nvr key in anything in Page1
The S.O.P. will give me this bean.User@d0d12e

Ok ,
In your filter Check if an HttpSession exists - If yes , then no problem,
if No then create one

yes you add the 'username' to the session on action of your submit button
and this condition should take care of that
