UserLoginForm objForm = (UserLoginForm) form;
	String strUserid = objForm.getUserid();
	String strPassword = objForm.getPassword();

Check the user id and password in the database

boolean loginStatus = springHibernateDAO.checkUserLogin(strUserid,
	strPassword);

If User id and there corresponding password is matches then add the user Id on the session and check on every pages where security is neccessary

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
	session.setAttribute("userID", strUserid);
	String id = String.valueOf(springHibernateDAO.getUserId(strUserid));
	session.setAttribute("ID", id);

And finally return the success

return mapping.findForward("success");

Following are the views which shows the login process Login form

Returns when User Id or password is incorrect

On correct user id and password the action is forwarded to the home page
