User authentification in Web Application

A pretty "easy" question, how to "log in" a user?

We are using a custom web gui toolkit.
I don't want to use BASIC authentification, form based authentification is not possible.

The user enters user/paswd. I'm processing the request in a servlet, I can access user and password as strings.
How to verify username/passwd (the user is created in a file realm) and "log in" the user correct?

Thanks.
Stephan
