# Java Login Form Using HTTP Session in Servlets 🚪🔑



Welcome to the **Java Login Form Using HTTP Session** project! This web application demonstrates user login functionality using **Java Servlets**, **MySQL**, and **Apache Tomcat**, along with managing user sessions through the HttpSession API. It provides an intuitive interface for users to log in, view their profiles, and log out securely.



## 🌟 Features



- **🔑 User Authentication**: Secure login using hardcoded credentials (can be extended to database-driven authentication).

- **💼 Session Management**: Efficient user session handling through HttpSession for personalized experiences.

- **📄 Profile Page**: A profile page displays the logged-in user's details.

- **⚠️ Error Handling**: Graceful handling of incorrect login credentials with helpful messages.

- **🖥️ Clean User Interface**: A clean and responsive HTML/CSS layout for the login, profile, and logout pages.



## 💻 Technologies Used



- **Java Servlet API (Jakarta)**: Servlets to handle HTTP requests, sessions, and redirections.

- **Apache Tomcat Server**: Provides the environment to deploy and run the application.

- **HTML/CSS**: Clean and modern frontend for user interaction.

- **MySQL Database** *(optional)*: Easily extendable to connect with a MySQL database for real-world applications.
