Re: servlets that forward to other servlets

You can always dispatch to another servlet.  You don't have to redirect.

So the sequence could be something like the following:

	-> LoginServlet (validated) (dispatch)-> MainServlet (dispatch)-> *.jsp

It'd look like your page that the MainServlet returned was coming directly
from the LoginServlet, but I'd imagine that'd be ok.

I am searching the J2EE 1.3.1 SDK API and cannot find the dispatch() method that you describe in any of the subinterfaces or subclasses of interface Servlet. Is that a method, or a technique? It sounds very much like what I am trying to achieve with forward().
