I will try to be brief, but this will need to explanation. 1) I was going to search the archives , but the search engine is down, so please don't flame to bad. I have jsps, that refer to database objects that have been populated by a servlet and then forwarded to the jsp. Looking at the code below, if a did a forward of the jspURL, it do not know of the UNservlet.consultant session object. If I do the include, the jsp does know about the UNservlet.consultant object. The problem is that this only works with IE. Netscape, displays the html generated in text(like view source) I hope this makes sense. Can someone please Help??? Thanks ------snippet---------------------------------------------------- HttpSession session = req.getSession(true); session.putValue("UNservlet.consultant", new Consultant() ); RequestDispatcher disp = getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(jspURL); //the forward did not include the new session object //disp.forward(req,res); disp.include(req,res); --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
