When the user logs in, put the username in the session. Example:

String username = request.getParameter("username");

// do some validations with the username
// if the log in was successful:

session.setAttribute("USERNAME", username);

When the user logs out, remove the username from the session:

session.setAttribute("USERNAME", null);

In every page (jsp file) that you have you can do this:

<%
String username = (String)session.getAttribute("USERNAME");
if (username==null) {
%>
  <script>
      alert("You must login first");
  </script>
  <jsp:forward page="login.jsp" />
<%
}
%>

Be careful. You must put the username in the session only when the log in was successful. If the user has entered correct username and password
