Passing Variables

[Bernard Bobinski]

I need to pass 2 variables from one JSP page to another. I am using the following code

String dispyear = request.getParameter("dispyear");
String setyear = request.getParameter("setyear");
String myurl = "course_list.jsp?dispyear=" + dispyear;
String newcourse = request.getParameter("newcourse");
if (cmd.equals("add")) myurl = "courseadd.jsp?newcourse=" + newcourse + "?year=" + setyear;
response.sendRedirect(myurl);

The end result is an error and the variable newcourse ends up as

"TEST1?year=2004" instead of "TEST1"

Obviously I am missing something code wise or do I have to pass one big variable consisting of multiple variables and sift through the mess with substrings?

Request parameters are separated from one another (after the initial ?) with the ampersand character. You should never have more than one ? in a URL.

Look at the URL for this very page for an example.
