Got my homework done aside from statistics. I also modified the login code for just journal tonight. Its the first step toward releasing a new desktop client (.net gui app). I'll be able to add other types as well. Login can now validate a user before signing into post. Eventually i'll implement tokens for desktop clients but this will certainly work for now. There are a few things i can do in java that are very hard in any other language and i might as well do them.
If you have the user agent sent properly, a success/fail code is returned to the client. The only problem with this apporach is that it opens up the app for easy brute force attacks. I haven't figured out a solution to that yet. I have some ideas though.
