servelet to JSP communication..

[patnim17]

Hi,
I have a Servelet that invokes a java object that makes connection to the database and executes the SQL and returns an object that contain an xml list of data from the database. Once I get this object back in the servlet, I need to send the control to a JSP page with this java object..

how can I acomplish this..please help.

Hi,

You can set the Java Object as request attribute in the servlet and dispatch the request object to JSP page.

ex: In servlet

RequestDispatcher dispatcher = 
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("test.jsp");
// object that has been built from DB
request.setAttribute("xmlObject", object);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

in test.jsp you can acess the object

 Object obj = (Object)request.getAttribute("xmlObject");

Cheers
Venu
