You can use security framework which automatically redirects you to login page once unauthenticated. It is more complicated but it is should be more reliable in long run. Check this out: Apache Shiro.

When user loading page, servlet calls DAO to load data from database. You can check session/cookies/request in servlet, if this user have token to access the data and sendRedirect to login page if not.
