Trying to count number of attempts

[itgaurav198]

Hi all,

I have a JSP that asks for userid and password. I want to develop an application that should be able to check how many attempts the same user has taken so that he can be redirected to some another page when he gives wrong id/ pwd three times.

If possible please provide some example code.

thanks

You just add a session variable and do count on your authorization page.
And check the value every time user checks for authorization.

Look at this following diagram.

login_page(HTML )->authorization_ page(JSP) [Here you bind the session variable and do count the value]
And you can call JSP page from a HTML page when you submit the HTML form.

hi,
can u give me any idea how to implement this. if i create a session variable in JSP page then how i will use a loop count on that for the same user.

Only one Session created for a one Browsing Session.
If you don't know browsing Session then go for Google.
So when you first time check the user authentication then you have to bind a session variable say "user_attem pts" then if fails then for second time in authorization page you will find that bound variable and increment the variable as the user fails and check every time how many times user attempts.

Now have a closer look at my code.

if(session.getAttribute("user_attempts")!=null)
//for second time and onwards
{
int user_attempts = (Integer)session.getAttribute("user_attempts").intValue();
user_attempts++;
if(user_attempts==max_attempts){
//your code goes here
}
session.setAttribute("user_attempts",new Integer(user_attempts));
}
else
//for the first time
{
session.setAttribute("user_attempts",new Integer(1));
}

I think the total scenario is clear to both of you.
