You can call another servlet using the RequestDispatcher Interface. To do
this, get hold of RequestDispatcher in first servlet like this:
RequestDispatcher
reqDispatcher=this.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/servlet/second
_servlet");
Then call the forward method by passing HttpServletRequest and
HttpServletResponse objects. reqDispatcher.forward(request,response)
Doing this will pass the control to the second servlet.

> second servlet call that updates the altered data.
> My idea is to make this updating servlet automatically call another
servlet
> to display the main screen again (which is in turn another distinct
> servlet).
> Is this possible? Can I do something like:

> if(update_transaction_ok)
> call_servlet ListAllRecords; // <- How do I do this?
> else
> display ErrorScreen;
