I would like to know if it is possible to maintain an authentication (like a session with login and password in php) on a website from a java program, and if anyone had any lead on the subject or some reading for me, that would be great.
thanks

You can use the HttpClient class. Once you have authenticated with the website the server will send you a cookie that you have to send with each successive request in order for the server to think that you are logged in.
