RE: Forwarding requests to other Services?

	You could either use response.sendRedirect to the servlet or
jva.net.URLConnection to call the other servlet and then stream the output
from the servlet to your response.getOutputStream.

RE: Forwarding requests to other Services?

Posted by Scott Shorter <sh...@caradas.com>.
I was afraid you would say that.  Bleah.

Of course the good news about that is I realized that the other servlet
then tries to forward back to the first after it's done its thing.  I'll
try redirects instead and see how that works.

Will the redirect maintain request attributes like forward will?

Thanks,
Scott
