Validate username and password.........

Question

I am new to JSPs and have login code that i am using for my JDBC connection. How can i use this code to validate a web user's password and username?
public class Login
private String username;
private String password;
Constructor to create a new login object
@param u valid database username.
@param p valid database password.
public Login(String u, String p)
username = u;
password = p;
Gets the username.
@return the username as a string
protected String getUser()
return username;
Gets the password
@return the password as a string.
protected String getPassword()
return password;
Thanks

if i understand you right, you want to use what they log in with for your jdbc connection. i've never done it that way myself.. i use a single "web entry" user/pass. why must it be like that? i'm curious, maybe i should do it that way. but i grab a conn with that standard account.. and then of course all user lookups can be done.
if anything, do the first conn with the standardized 'anon/nobody' user/pass and then rs = stmt.executeQuerY("select id from users where name = ' + user + ' and pass = ' + pass + "'");
or whatever you want.
