Ok...with the help of Carey I have gotten to know the code a bit
better...but still need some help. Java variable nextPage is being set in
logon_common.jsp as such
String nextPage = (String)request.getParameter("goto");
if (nextPage == null) {
nextPage = "";
}
Now...the URL that I am passing Mid-Tier is similar to this one
http://<webServer>/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=<Form>&server=<remedyS
erver>&eid=<eid>
When I give it that URL and I have my login.jsp file set to
<input type="hidden" name="goto" value="<%=nextPage%>" >
I go directly to the entry in question. My problem is that when I choose to
display the nextPage variable to the screen to see what it is it is always
"" no matter if I have used the above URL or gone directly to the Home page
or gone directly to the Login page...so it is using some value that I don't
currently know how to check. I have tried request.getParameter as well as
session.getAttribute....anyone have any suggestions on how I can determine
if the login already has a goto?

I, as most of us do, have users that bookmark the login screen
http://<midtier-server>/arsys/shared/login.jsp
When they do that they get an error about not having all of the parameters
mapped, they click the 'return to home' button...re-login and they get to
the home page. I got sick of fielding these production support questions so
I came to the list and inquired about how to eliminate them. I was told
that if I change these two lines it would work grand
<input type="hidden" name="server" value="<%=server%>" > <input
type="hidden" name="goto" value="<%=nextPage%>" >
If you hard-code those two lines with values it works great...any time
anyone gets to the login page and login they go to the home page....which is
great with exception of hard coded URL's that are designed to take them to
specific entries instead of the home page. So I got the brilliant idea to
Check to see if nextPage is null...and if it is...set it to /arsys/home...if
not...let it be what it is....but there is the rub...I'm not a JavaScript
GURU to be able to do that...any suggestions?...I've tried several things I
found on the web for checking JSP variables via Javascript but none of them
seem able to properly return the current value of nextPage.
TIA
