Hi
I have two questions.
1) I was wondering if it was more effective to have one servlet that
handles all the requests eg. http://localhost/index.jsp?instruct=02 for
adding requests, index.jsp?instruct=03 for editting database entries.
String instruct= request.getParameter("request");
if (instruct.compareTo("01")!=-1) {
} //do something
else if (same as above) {
if request.getParameter(Parameters for inserting database requests) {
}// do the DB thing
}
and so on... I find alot of big web-sites are doing that now. What are
benefits of this? I am trying to prevent the user from finding out too much
about the operations of the web-sites. I think that any individual can
figure out how a database works and how the website works by looking atthe
form elements and the links within the page. What is the best way of
hidding these sort of information. (I want the users to use the web-site
and not try to hack into the database etc etc).
2) I have also come across websites where by clicking on the link it brings
you to http://localhost/index.jsp# and it brings up windows/goes away and
does something. How would someone program that in a servlet/jsp? The
benefits of this may be what I am looking for in 1).

Comments appreciated.
