securing a jsp page

Can a jsp page be secured with role / user based access? If so, then what if
it is redirected to from inside a servlet or other jsp page?

RE: securing a jsp page

Posted by Mike Curwen <gb...@gb-im.com>.
Yes, if you place your JSP's inside certain folder, you can secure the
path to the jsp.
 
eg:

webapp
|- unsecure
|....|- unsecured.jsp
|- admin
|....|- secure_this_with_admin_role.jsp
|- super_admin
|....|- secure_this_with_super_admin_role.jsp
 
As for redirection, I think if you're redirecting to a secured URI, then
you should get authenticated.  But not if you .forward() or .include().
