Re: Parameters and HttpServlet Request Dispatching rd.forward(req, re s)

Maybe this info will help:

RequestDispather.forward(...)
   I don't think you want to be doing any writing to the response object if
   you plan to forward to another servlet because once you get a
   PrintWriter or ServletOutputStream object from the response object, if
   you try to forward it on you'll get an IllegalStateException.
Passing a parameter to a servlet
        I think this method may be the one you want:
   ServletRequest.setAttribute(java.lang.String key,  java.lang.Object o)

Subject:  Parameters and HttpServlet Request Dispatching rd.forward(req, re
      s)




Hello,

could someone help? I want to use the HttpServlet request dispatch forward
function to invoke another servlet. Before I invoke it I want to flush out
whatever was written to the buffer by the calling servlet then pass a
parameter to the called servlet. How do you "flush"?  How do you set the
parameter so that it will be in the "req," object of the called servlet?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
