parameters[username, userpw] sent user through home.jsp. these parameters matched in login servlet against stored userinfo db using jdbc.

in dopost method using if condition tfor authentication follows

if (rs.next()) {             string refname = rs.getstring("username");              string refpass = rs.getstring("userpw");              if (user.equals(refname) && pw.equals(refpass)) {                  out.println("<br>you in");                  requestdispatcher dispatch= getrequestdispatcher("/searchfriend.jsp");                 dispatch.forward(req, resp);                  system.out.println("sucess");              }

according assumption , need redirect user home page when authentication successful.

if so, can store user credential in session making custom filter sessionfilter implements filter

httpsession session = request.getsession(); 

store credenials in session , if authentication successful redirect using :

requestdispatcher view = request.getrequestdispatcher(/home.jsp); view.forward(req,resp);
