Hi , you mentioned do not let the first servlet set content. Why not ? What
does that affect? SC

Use this method to direct your requests (not responses :-) ).
ServletContext ctx = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
RequestDispatcher disp = ctx.getNamedDispatcher("secondServlet");
disp.forward(req, resp);
furthermore,
you can create a utlity class with method goToServlet and just pass it the
required attributes and let it do the job.
What this method does is forwards the request so that another servlet can
take a look at it before sending it to the client. The request method is
kept the same (i.e. it is Get if the servlet calling it has been called thru
Get and Post if otherwise).
Imp:
a. Do not let the first servlet set the content type or get the output
stream.
b. The getNamedDispatcher is method of Servlet 2.2 API. Use the
getRequestDispatcher for 2.1 but I could get it to work only for forwarding
to JSPs not to servlets.
I hope it answers your question.
Thanks,
