The below example shows how to forward a http call from a servlet to another page in the same web application. To do a forward we need to get an instance of RequestDispatcher by calling the getRequestDispatcher() method on the HttpServletRequest object.
Code:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
/**
* Example Servlet
* @author www.javadb.com
*/
public class ExampleServlet extends HttpServlet {
/** Processes requests for both HTTP <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods.
* @param request servlet request
* @param response servlet response
*/
protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("/otherPage.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
}
