Username and password w/ sessions

[ability1]

I'm a java nubie and am wondering if someone knows of a thread or could point me in the right direction in regards to creating a secure login in screen using Java and sessions to allow for security.

Are you talking about using a GUI (Swing/AWT) or via a web application/browser ?

via a browser. To enable clients to log into a unique menu according to password. The menu is no problem, we are a little confused on how to securely create a username and password login page using a time sensitive logout tools like sessions

Well the normal way is to have a database with your stored usernames & passwords, and then have your "login page" query the database of a secure (SSL - https) connection.
