Does anyone have recommendations for a good article on how to add a login page to a NetBeans Java Spring Web application using a Java DB (Derby) database? I want to store multiple the passwords for the login in the derby database, which will be accessed when a user attempts to sign in rather than have the passwords hardcoded in the code as most of the examples that I've seen seem to do. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible.
If you're doing this for real, not just for an academic learning exercise, be careful storing passwords.
It's extremely easy to do this incorrectly. Here's a few great resources:
In terms of actually storing the data in Derby, passwords (once correctly processed as above) are just data to Derby.
