RE: HttpSession - problem

["Patrick Goovaerts" <pgoovaerts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Art,

Jsp1 invokes the controller.servlet by using a form 'submit', triggered
by a button.  Here's the code:

JSP1:
...
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"
src="/FreightQuotations/javascript/openWindows.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"
src="/FreightQuotations/javascript/actions.js"></SCRIPT>
...
<FORM name="FormFQ" action="FQController" method=POST onSubmit="return
testaction(action)">
<INPUT type=hidden name="screen" value="S1">
<INPUT type=hidden name="action" value="">
...
<INPUT type="button" style="font-size: 10px" tabindex="5" name="bList"
value=" List " onClick="setaction(this.form, this)">
...

JAVASCRIPT ACTIONS.JS
function testaction(paction)
{
   if (paction.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please select an action-button below");
      return false;
   }
   return true;
}

function setaction(form, button)
{
   // if (button.name == "bList")    {form.action.value = " List "}
   // if (button.name == "bAdd")     {form.action.value = "Create"}
   // if (button.name == "bDelete")  {form.action.value = "Delete"}
   // if (button.name == "bUpdate")  {form.action.value = "Update"}
   // if (button.name == "bConfirm") {form.action.value = "Confirm"}
   // if (button.name == "bCopy")    {form.action.value = " Copy "}
   form.action.value = button.value;
   form.submit();
}

If course I do not ask you "how to change the . forward( ) to a
sendRedirect( )" !
What I want to know is how to decide
- when to use .forward()
- when to use .sendRedirect()
I can't imagine that one has to code .forward(), test it and when it
doesn't work, change his code to .sendRedirect()

As explained in previous mail, one of the reasons was a security issue
while another reason was that the 2 (hidden)fields, used in JSP1 doesn't
exist when launching controller.servlet directly.

There is more than one way for jsp1 to invoke the controller.servlet
class, you did not say how your code (jsp1) does it.

>>Also, did you try the earlier suggestion of using sendRedirect( ) api
>>instead of .forward( )  to see if that helped at all?

Your earlier note said .forward( ) to the controller servlet failed.  If
you try sendRedirect( ) to the controller servlet and it happens to
work, your decision is made.  Or are you really asking how to change the
. forward( ) to a sendRedirect( )?

Art,

It seems to be a problem with
 (1) security (found out using sendRedirect())
 (2) session-vars which doesn't exist when controller.servlet is called
directly

>>==> jsp1 or jsp2 .... which api does jsp1 use to call
>>controller.servlet? Also, did you try the earlier suggestion of using

how do one decide which to choose: .forward() or sendRedirect() ?
