This problem is a little bit complicatied.
There are 2 possibilities (I think):
The first one is to use the same Servlet that established
the database connection in the init() method i think.
You could use either a hidden filed with a value= 1 or page1
and than check this value so you can realize that the user
is already connected .
The second one is to save the Conection in a session.
I don't know if this works or no I haven't tried it out.
Like this
In the first servlet
Session s=request.getSession(false);
s.putValue("conection",connection);
And in the second one
Session s=request.getSession(false);
Connection c=(Connection)s.getValue( "conection");
Please see the help pages available about using a Session and
his methods.
