Hi All,

In this following servlet and jsp program the output is displaying NULL.Is there any mistake to display my name attribute in jsp?Can anyone explain why this program is not working?Advance Thanks.

Servlet program :

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class ChkAttrib extends HttpServlet
{

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException,ServletException
{
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out=res.getWriter();
out.println("<html><body><h1>Atrribute Checking</h1><br>");


String name="Kathir";

req.setAttribute("myname",name);
RequestDispatcher view=req.getRequestDispatcher("chk1.jsp");
view.forward(req,res);
}
}


JSP code :

<html>
<head>
<title>My Attibute</title>
</head>
<body>
My name is :<%= (String)request.getAttribute("name") %>

</body>
</html>

In the servlet, you are setting an attribute called "myname". But in the JSP, you are getting an attribute called "name". Different name, different attribute Give it the same name, and it should work.

It is not working because attributes are set by request.
It have to set through ServletContext or HttpSession object
Then it would work fine.
Otherwise it will provide same null.

Thanks for question again?
I have implemented it now .
It is working properly.
Sorry for wrong reply before.

But I don't understand, how attributs set by req object are goes to next page.
These attribute are only valid for same req.

The request is being forwarded to the JSP file. The JSP gets the request, and does its stuff.

To change the name in the jsp file in which you setted in the servlet file we will get the excat output
