Hi Is it possible for one servlet running and communicating with tree jsp pages without killing it in between? The problem is that the servelt is supposed to connect to a server and keep the connection through the 3 pages (with forms). Allready in the first page the servlet must pass important information to the page content. Example : The "_server_" i refer to in this example is not _any_ webserver, but any kind of server containig information you want to search through. (not local) * The servlet is EXECUTED and connects to the _server_. * The servlet is generating the first page with a form and and important information from the _server_. * User submit the form and the servlet get the parameters. * Now the servlet will execute a search on the _server_ and return the result(s). * A new page will be displayed with the result(s). * The user select one of the "hits" and the servlet get this information. * The servlet get information about the hit from the _server_ and display it. * Servlet disconnects the _server_ and get KILLED. My main point is that the servlet is supposed to communicate and survive through all the form submissions. Then I don't have to make 2 or 3 separate servlets each connecting the _server_ at each step / form submission. Any idea? =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
