I want to implement a login-session scheme like the following : 1. Login servlet stores some kind of user object that encapsulates user information to current session if login is valid, and go to some top page if no other information is provided. 2. Every other servlet first check if current session has valid user object, and if not, redirect to Login servlet while giving all the parameters that was given with request and the name of servlet itself. 3. Login Servlet check login, and redirect to the original servlet from step 2 with all the parameters the original servlet from step 2 received, so that additional login process, which is typically due to session timeout, will not block the action user wanted from the system. When servlet is requested by GET method, it works fine. In step 2, passing parameters and servlet name to Login servlet is done by appending them to URL, and the same method can be used to pass parameters from Login servlet to original servlet. However, if the servlet is requested by POST method, I couldn't find a way to pass parameters(some of which is typically too long for GET method's URL encoding) to 'target' servlet with redirect method. I tried to store information in session, but under the typical scenario of session timeout, it will not be available after session timeout. Is it possible to pass parameters to a servlet that is target of redirect?
