Hi,
I am making a web application using Iplanet Application Server.
I am using Oracle 6i to genrate reports. The reports are generated by
invoking a cgi script of Oracle Reports 6i. If I use response.sendRedirect,
it works.
res.sendRedirect
("http://157.227.15.228/cgi-bin/script?server=REP60_WisperSu
n&report=Audits_CoverSheet.RDF&destype=cache¶mform=no&userid=eaton/eaton
@wisper&pagestreaming=no&p_auditid=1372&p_format=HTML&desformat=HTML");
But, the problem is, that I don't want to show all these variables in the
URL. Basically, I don't not want to use a query string. I want to use the
POST method.
But, I also do not want to use hidden fields in a form as teh user can view
its source.
I want to submit a form using 'Post' to a servlet and then forward the
request to a JSP, which will add more parameters to the request and in turn
forward it to the cgi script.
The Report server, which has the cgi script and my application are on
different machines.
I tried forwarding the request from the servlet to the cgi script.
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
this.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher
("http://157.227.15.228/cgi-bin
/script");
dispatcher.forward(req,res);
But this doesn't work.
1. Is it possible to forward a request to a cgi script?
2. How do I give teh absolute path, as they are on different machines?
Regards,
Vibha
