user login authentication and session timeout
I'm looking for examples or to be pointed in the right direction on how
to achieve the following.
I want my users to be able to access a mojority of my pages without having
to login, but if they select a specific page a small login pop-up window
would display which would require a valid user name and password. I also
want the session to time-out after a period of time.
Any ides?

RE: user login authentication and session timeout
Posted by Robert Taylor <rt...@mulework.com>.
Charles, you can use container managed security or the SecurityFilter to authenticate users when accessing protected resources. You
can set the session time out by adding something like the following to your web.xml file:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
</session-config>
You can find more information on SecurityFilter here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/securityfilter/
Your servlet container documentation should let you know how to
implement container managed security.
