I am sorry if I have not explained it in detail.
What actually going on is :
1. A client accesses the Authentication servlet thru a
link.
2. Authentication servlet checks to see if the user is
authorized (it may do database verification for
first time access (or) check for sessionID for
subsequent requests)
3. if the user is authorized, for first time access,
it will serve a page (or) for subsequent access, it
will check for what action he is requesting
4. depending on action, authentication servlet
forwards his request to different servlets
running in the same web server to process his
request and forward the response.
what I intend to do is, in the Authentication
servlet, retrieve session and context in the doPost()
method, and after the verification is done,
create
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
context.getRequestDispatcher("/servlets/Otherservlet.class");
and then call
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
in OtherServlet.class, there is service() method which
takes in request, response objects
and does processing depending on the action in request
object.
the environment is Apache - JServ 1.1 running on unix.
cheers,
vsr
