I 'm trying to figure out a way of customer login into a website through
JavaServer Pages. The idea is to confirm their login with a SELECT
statement from an Oracle table, and if the SELECT succeeds, to forward
the clients to a new page (with their usernames and passwords checked
from now on through http session attributes).

The problem is that I haven't been able to "hold back" the whole
procedure of forwarding to a new page, until the SELECT succeds (and of
course if it fails, then redirect to login.jsp)

Or, in other words, make the <jsp:forward .../> *ONLY* if the SELECT
statement in the database succeeds, ELSE redirect to the login.jsp page.

Any ideas?
Thanx in advance for any ideas

Never explain.
Your friends will understand you.
Your enemies will never believe you anyway.

There is a special tag for this function in struts (jakarta.apache.org).
If you are more comfortable with classical java, than look
at servlets, there are also both forwarding and redirect capabilities
in plain java.
