Simple way to manage users with JDBC/Servlets?

["Peter Neu" <peter(dot)neu(at)gmx(dot)net>]

Hello,

 

I will have to manage a large amount of users with a postgresql db.

First of all I have to do a major bulk import from a csv file which has this format:

 

Username;Password;Group

 

Later on I will have to manage all users with a webb app. And give the possibility

to search and upload new csv files.

 

I already programmed some CRUD applications with Oracle and Java but I’m looking forward to learn some new

stuff. How would you guys do that?

 

Can the password be auto created by postgresql and converted in md5?

 

My db version 7.4.2

 

Cheers,

Pete
