Simple Web JSP Login Framework

Thread view:

Without wanting to reinvent the wheel, I'd like a simple framework for
user login, account verification via an email response link to plug
into a new web application... someone's got to have written a generic
user login and credential system...

Any ideas?

Cliff.

You can try form based login, which is supported by any J2EE Compliant
servlet container. You create a custom login form, keep the user and
password fields as j_username and j_password, do a post on
j_security_check and configure a security realm in your application.
You can use LDAP/AD or have your custom authenticator to hook in.

What I'm looking for is something like the web app framework generation
similar to what Ruby on Rails provides... The whole process of
obtaining user name, password, registering an account, confirming via
email and all the while talking to a database must have been written
thousands of times already... any ideas of an open-source Java
class/JSP library which will do this grunt work for you? Or, is there
anything similar to Ruby on Rails available for JSP/Servlet
development?

Trails (http://www.trailsframework.org/) aims to be something like a Ruby
on Rails equivalent for Java.

There is also Grails (http://grails.codehaus.org/) for Groovy.

And finally, Appfuse (http://appfuse.org/) is an alternative way to get a
web app un and running quickly.

Check out some of the free developer tools from Sun including Sun
Studio. They have widgets that you can drag/drop and do the whole
thing for you.

If you get a chance, go to the Sun Developer Days in your city...I did
and saw them build exactly this type of app in a few minutes!
