Alternitive to Println Statment in Servlet

[NJDrew]

Ok, I have a servlet that is being called by one html page and after it does its processes, I want it to desplay another page. I am new to Java and the only way I know of is to use a out.Println statement to create a new page. What I want it to do after the processes is to open/load a pre-exsiting html page. How do I have the servlet do this.

Any help would be greatly appricated.

Thanks,

Use a RequestDispatcher to forward the request to the new page. You can get a RequestDispatcher from the HttpServletRequest. Check the Javadocs for more information.

If you are not interested in passing on any parameters from the servlet to the new html page, you could simply do:

response.sendRedirect( "newHtml.html" );
