Hello everybody, I'm a newbye in JSP and I need some helps.
As exercise I'm trying to implement a simple portal with two different
kind of user (admin and normal one) and depending to which one access
the system I show different pages.
In order to avoid security lack (this is simply training for me, so if
this is wrong please let me know) I placed the registration page in the
more external level, while other pages can be accessed only through the
findForward action of Action Form because they are stored in WEB-INF
folder.
At present time I'm starting Tiles, and I decided to implement a menu
tile to allow the user to access pages that resides in its "profile".
However I cannot use html:link because the pages reside in the limited
access zone. How can I perform this action? I'm not able to understand
how to create this menu, but I see on the web many application with
such a structure. Is there some simply way or I have to move the
reserved pages out of WEB-INF and to control access to them through
session attributes?
Any help will be appreciated
