Answer 1

I think kgiannakakis solution is very good. I just want to add some details, because while reading Agusti-N's comment, I have a suspect, maybe he is missing something.

Let's say that you have a UsersServlet described by kgiannakakis, jsp called showUserProfile.jsp and userBean , which has all the properties, the user profile should be displayed in jsp.

When a new user logs into your application, you only need to do more than what you are already doing now. Just register a new user in db and forget the registration servlet .

Now suppose I signed up for your application with my username alexmeia .

- yourApp/Users/alexmeia, UsersServlet . alexmeia URL- , , userBean.

showUserProfile.jsp, , userBean.

, alexmeia Db, userNotFound.jsp ...

. URL .
