Answer 1

You can use two ways:

1-

using (IF Else) for your example

if(password for this ID = Password in "Student" table) then Forward him to Take_Quze.pjs else ( if (password for this ID = Password in "Professor" table) then forward him to proffesor.jsp else put error message )//end else

but it's not effictive way.

2- another ways is use separate login forms for Student and Professor, in JSP, you can use two directories, for example /professor/logi.jsp for Prof and /Student/login.jsp for student..

That's all.. :)
