if you were forwarding..that would be a TC error a redirect sends response back to browser-client its up to browser-client to then accept the response and re-direct the client Request to new url
//an alternative strategy would be to build the URL consisting of URL and http-get parameters e.g. String url_string ="http://somehost.com"+"&parm1=value1&parm2=value2";; //call the URL directly (essantially a forward as the session is preserved) java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(url_string); //read the response from url into Buffered Reader BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream())); HTH Martin ______________________________________________ Disclaimer and confidentiality note Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relates to the official business of Sender.
