Call servlet/class/method after login

[ahuba]

Hi all

I am a Java developer and I've just finished my Java Web Application. I am using Jboss 5.1 GA.

I'm asking myself how many people are using this application. The best thing would be if I could call a method, a class or a servlet after a user logged into the application. Is there a way to do that?

I recently tried SessionCreated and SessionDestroyed methods, but a new session doesn't automatically mean a user logged in.

I' using form based authentication.

Thanks a lot for your input.

Best regards,

ahuba

Is there anyone with an idea?

A FORM based login would mean that you are using JAAS. So ultimately, the authentication process goes through a (stack of) LoginModules. You can have a counter logic or something similar in the login module which will count the number of users logging in.
