Question

I am new to java. Here I am making my first web project, i have login.jsp and servlet(doPost) for authentication and then redirects to userhome if authenticated. But if not authenticated then a message is going like:

response.sendRedirect("login.jsp?msg=Invalid user id and password");

But this message is being displayed in browser header like :

login.jsp?msg=Invalid user id and password

which i do not want. In browser no message should be displayed and should only display the url of login page(login.jsp) when user is not authenticated that is:

login.jsp

Any help?

Edit: try this code. use session object.

session.setAttribute("error","Invalid user id and password")
response.sendRedirect("login.jsp");

in login.jsp use this code

session.getAttribute("error");
