Hi,
I have the following problem:
a HTTP request is sent by a HTML page (within the browser) to servlet1:
in the doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) of servlet1 this
request is treated.
Now during code processing servlet1 in some cases handles the sending of the HTTP
response himself
= normal servlet handling, no problem
in some other cases (e.g. in case of error) servlet1 wants the request to be treated
by servlet2:
so servlet1 would like to send a HTTPrequest (new request or forward of original
request) to servlet2.
servlet1 would then like to return from its doPost(...) method without sending a HTTP
response to the browser; it is servlet2
instead that is then responsible for sending the HTTP response to the browser.
And this is no servlet chaining:
because:
that another servlet is involved is not known before sending the HTTP request by the
browser, it is known first during servlet1 code processing:
so the servlet engine can not be configured accordingly.
servlet1 does not setup a HTTP response which is then sent to servlet2 for further
processing.
Is this possible?
How (code example) could this action be performed? Are there messages provided in the
servlet API or must a 'normal' JAVA API be used for setting up a HTTP request?
