Authentication mechanism allows users to have secure access to the application by validating the
username and password. We will be using JSF view for login, DAO object ,HttpSession for session
management, JSF managed bean and mysql database.
Lets now look in detail as how to create a JSF login logout authentication mechanism in JSF application.
Here we create user table with uid as the primary key, username and password elds with not null
constraints.
Before we move on to our project related code, below image shows the project structure in Eclipse. Just
create a dynamic web project and convert it to maven to get the project stub and then keep on adding
di erent components.

public class Login implements Serializable {
We declare three String variables user, pwd and msg for username, password and error message elds
along with the getter and setter methods. We write a method validateUsernamePassword() for validating
the username and password eld by invoking the LoginDAO class to fetch the username and password from
the database and compare it with the front end values passed. If the username and password does not
match an error message is displayed as “Incorrect username and password” . Also a logout() method is
written to perform logout by invalidating HTTPSession attached.

return true;
}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
[Link]("Login error ‐‐>" + [Link]());
return false;
} finally {
[Link](con);
}
return false;
In the validate() method we rst establish connection to the database by invoking the DataConnect class
getConnection method. We use PreparedStatement to build the query to fetch the data from the database
with the user entered values. If we get any data in result set, it means input is valid and we return true, else
false.

We implement the standard lter class by overriding the destroy and doFilter methods. In the doFilter
method we will redirect user to login page if he tries to access other page without logging in.
This page is rendered when the user logs in successfully. Logout functionality is implemented by calling the
logout method of the [Link] class.
<navigation‐rule>
<from‐view‐id>/[Link]</from‐view‐id>
<navigation‐case>
<from‐outcome>admin</from‐outcome>

Hi, i took some classes of your code and when I tried to login, it send me that error:
Etat HTTP 500 – [Link]
The error pointed to “[Link] (“key”, value), I thought it came from my DBB but after long
researchs I just TRY to change the return value in the method HttpSession getSession() and I put. “true”
instead of “false” and I don’t know why I could access to the next page after login. I would like to know
why

The warning messages will not render. An error message of “INFO: WARNING: FacesMessage(s) have
been enqueued, but may not have been displayed.” Any ideas as to why this is occurring?

Without any entries to [Link] the AuthorizationFilter is never used. Minimum is to include it in [Link]
in follwing manner (replace xxxx with your package name):

This Filter authorizes user access to application.

The class name “LoginDAO” is misleading as this it not a DAO object at all, it’s just a simple class which
contain one (static) method.

Upon further investigation of the example it appear to contain code that is never used and code that
suggest it has been directly copied from another source.
Reveal this source immediately and stop taking credit for the work of others.

its not copied from any where, can you explain which part of code is not used. Also it’s just for
understanding the concept of authentication in JSF, if I will provide production level coding here, the
length of post will be 3 times and it will loose the purpose of article.
Reply
No way am I doing your work for you. There is redundant code in the example, and if you are
the programmer you claim to be you should be able it nd it yourself.
Not catching Exception but rather subclasses is not only the way to go in production code it
also makes better examples as it reveals the potential problems. Nor would it increase your
post length by a factor of 3, as it can be done simply by editing the catch part of the statement
and doesn’t added a single line. So your argumentation is invalid, and the example needs
updating.

Imagine I accuse you to stole Monalisa painting and then asking you to gather proof for me,
sounds familiar?
And for the common code, every java program will have try catch blocks with exception
being caught and logged, you should know this.

Never ever catch “Exception” in production code, it has loads on unforeseen consequences. I had hoped
that it was not done here to promote proper exception handling.
Catching “Exception” is sometimes done in the test phase before proper exception handling is done,
because proper exception handling on something that might not even work is a waste of time.

Rename the class “SessionBean” in the example immediately. It’s not a bean so the name is confusing.
