You could always call the servlet with a parameter containing the error
type or error number.
Example: .../applicationTest/login?err=301
where 301 is error message "You failed to login" or something.

Please respond to "A

Dear Servlet Interest users,
I have an online ordering application. Whenever the user enters some data
in the form, I check whether the information is valid or not (using
information from a database) and depending on that, I redirect the user to
the appropriate error page-using
"response.sendRedirect(respectiveErrorURI)" function.
However, the user has to use the back button on the browser and go back to
the previous page and then correct the error and try to submit it again.
Can I display the error message on the same page along with the form that
he/she submits?
Is there some way I can achieve this. I would appreciate any help in this
regard.
Thanks!
--Aasim.
