JSP Login Logout Example

In this section we will discuss how to create a simple login and logout example.

This section will describe you all the steps for creating a simple login and logout example. To create a simple login logout example in JSP we will use Eclipse IDE for compile and Tomcat 7 server for deploying the application.

In this application we will fetch the record from database and then matched them to the input value that are given through the user interface i.e. login form.

Example

I am giving here a simple login logout example. We will create this example using JSP. In this example we will take input through a form and we will validate the input record from the record saved into the database table. For this at first we will create a database table and then we will insert some dummy values. Then we will create the JSP pages for different purposes. At first we will create home.jsp page where we will design an interface for the user to input and submit their records then we will create login.jsp page where we will write the code for getting the input field values and the database table records. Here we will write the sql query for fetching the matched record from table. Then we will create welcome.jsp page where we will write the code for showing the valid user name after the value matched. Then we will create error.jsp page where we will write the code for showing the error message after if any problem getting in login to the user. Then finally we will create logout.jsp page where we will write the code for logout of user from the application. In this example we will use the JSP implicit object session and we will use the methods setAttribute() for setting the attribute value in session and getAttribute() method for getting the attribute value from the same session invalidate() method for ending the session or logout from the application.

Here is the video tutorial that explains you how to create JSP Login form backed with MySQL database.

Database Table

userdetail

CREATE TABLE `userdetail` (             
              `id` int(5) NOT NULL,                 
              `name` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,      
              `password` varchar(35) DEFAULT NULL,  
              `usertype` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL,  
              PRIMARY KEY (`id`)                    
            ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

Insert values into the table

insert into `userdetail`(`id`,`name`,`password`,`usertype`) values ( '1','arun','arun','admin')
insert into `userdetail`(`id`,`name`,`password`,`usertype`) values ( '2','deepak','deepak','user')

Values in the table
