I have a Tomcat 5.5 server that hosts some HTML pages. I want to control the access to these pages. The incoming users’ HTTP requests are supposed to have special authentication values.
What I need is to write a function that returns true/false based on the authentication value for each user request. Based on this true/false value, the user should be granted the access or not.
Any idea about how to do that?
Thanks
A pragmatic solution would be to create a ServletFilter and map it to all resources (
/*). Reading your question, I guess your authentication method will not be based on sessions (JSESSIONID cookie), but on tokens part of the URL itself.
