i am a beginner programmer and want to know how session management and login logout functionality can be incorporated in jsf project. Right now i can authenticate users from a table in the database but giving the direct url of the pages in the browser takes any anonymous user to the requested page of mine. i want only authenticated users to access the pages while their sessions are active. how is this done and what exactly i need to study to get this functionality in my application.
bundles of thanks in advance.
