Urgent Help

Hii I have an application with user login.When the user logs in, I need to have a change password option.How can I implement this.I am using struts, spring and hibernate.I think I need to check the oldpassword entered by user with the database and also check the new password and confirm password are equal or not and update the database iwth the new password value.This is my idea.Help me in implementing this.Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

What is this for? What have you done so far?

I created the Action class,changepassword.jsp...I am fetching the password from database...
How can I fetch the values user entered in the changepassword.jsp to my ACtion class.In ACtion I am checking the oldpassword with the one present in databse.And then, I am checking if the newpassword and confirmpassword are equal and I need to save the new password.

You can use the HttpServletRequest object.

Code :

---

final String oldPassword = reguest.getParameter("oldpassword");

---

And then just compare these using the equals method.

// Json

            // If not, use the drop-down list value
            if ( (oldpw != newpw)  ) {
