The servlet that gets posted to performs some business logic via JavaBeans and then
forwards to the display page (in this case, the confirm.jsp) it never gets the output
stream and it doesn't include any other jsp's.
<sample code>
//save the changes and then send to confirm page
Customer tmpcust =
(Customer)req.getSession(false).getAttribute("tmpcust");
try{
logger.log("removing customer:"+tmpcust.getId(), logger.INFO);
this.clist.removeCustomer(tmpcust.getId());
logger.log("customer removed", logger.INFO);
}catch(Exception E){
logger.log(E, "error removing customer", logger.ERROR);
req.setAttribute("msg", "error removing customer, check logs");
this.send(req, resp, this.props.getProperty("error"),
"editcustomer");
return;
}
this.send(req, resp, this.props.getProperty("confirm"),
"editcustomer");
//snip
public void send(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp, String page, String
component) throws IOException, ServletException
{
RequestDispatcher rd = req.getRequestDispatcher("/"+component+"/"+page);
rd.forward(req, resp);
}
</sample code>
??? any clue?
