Java Servlet Login Application

Welcome to the Java Servlet Login Application! 🎉 This project is a straightforward web application designed to demonstrate user authentication using Java Servlets and a MySQL database. With a focus on simplicity and clarity, this application allows users to log in using predefined credentials and displays a personalized welcome message upon successful authentication.

Features

• User Login: Users can log in with a predefined username and password.
• Error Handling: Displays informative error messages for incorrect login attempts.
• Dynamic Response: Upon successful login, users are redirected to a welcoming page, enhancing the user experience.

Technologies Used

• Java Servlet API: For building the server-side logic and handling HTTP requests.
• MySQL Database: To manage user credentials and potentially store user sessions.
• Apache Tomcat Server: The robust server that hosts our Java Servlets.
• HTML/CSS: For creating a user-friendly frontend interface.
