Where can I learn more about capabilities of RequestDispatcher? The two servlet books I have may not be too old since it looks like RequestDispatcher was added in 2.1. Jason Hunter, I have your First Edition. Do you go into details in Second Edition? I believe this is what I need to work with, but don't know how to implement the fix. Here's my problem and maybe someone can share their ideas: Servlet A runs on SilverStream Application Server (a web server). Via a hyperlink, it starts up Servlet B, which runs on Apache. To the end user, these two servlets are one application, so I need to keep them both alive. So I thought that everytime I did a post/get in each servlet, I could send something over to the other servlet to keep it alive. I was thinking I could use RequestDispatcher to somehow get this notice back and forth. (But how to implement?) But then I don't know kind of notice I should send that will keep the session alive but be transparent to the user. Any ideas would be most helpful. Thanks in advance, Carol P.S. For people who know about SilverStream: I know there is an option to move my Servlet B (which is actually a collection of servlets) to a business object(s) in SS. But we'd prefer not to do this. And moving Servlet A off of SS into Apache isn't an easy task because I've oversimplified the situation. It's actually a SilverStream 'page', which is actually a servlet underneath all the generated code. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
