I have objects that I pass from a Servlet to JSP using RequestDispatcher type. Now, I was wondering if I can do the same with a link but not sure how I do that:
Servlet called MyServlet.java (or MyServlet in web.xml mapping):
The above servlet automatically goes to the JSP and shows the firstname,lastname, city and state values that were submitted from a form. What is the equivalent of the RequestDispatcher where I can put a link instead so the user can click on the link and that will take them to the JSP with the session values:
This is the part I cant figure out:
Please advise.
Servlet called MyServlet.java (or MyServlet in web.xml mapping):
Code:
String firstname = request.getParameter("firstname");
String lastname = request.getParameter("lastname");
String city= request.getParameter("city");
String state= request.getParameter("state");
.....
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("firstname", firstname);
session.setAttribute("lastname", lastname);
session.setAttribute("city", city);
session.setAttribute("state", state);
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContex ().getRequestDispatcher("start.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<HTML>\n" +
"<HEAD><TITLE>Hello [URL unfurl="true"]WWW</TITLE></HEAD>\n"[/URL] +
"<BODY>\n" +
"<p><a href=start.jsp and RequestDispatcher info here??>Link to JSP</a></p>\n" +
"</BODY></HTML>");
.....Please advise.
