String split problem

[sandeepmur]

Hi,

I have a page A which loads users from a db and passes it into another page B as a String separated by ";".

In page B, I use a String Tokenizer to tokenize the string and for every string obtained, I display it along with a chkbox next to it..

The problem is when page B loads with the received String, it hangs. I found out that the problem is with the String length. If I send a shorter String, the page loads fine but the String I am passing has about 10000 characters (540 words separated by .

But I found strange was that, I loaded this entire String into another variable in a test jsp and it worked fine..

Whats happening ??

TIA

how are you passing this string from A to B? why not try some other object instead, like ArrayList?

there used to be pretty small size restrictions with String in past versions of java, something like 64k in 1.2 maybe? i think now it holds far more than 64k, so just your 10k should still be ok.
