Hi,
I have a jsp page that has an <iframe> in the <body>. Basically this is what I have:

It works fine. But when I do a view source you can see the user and password. I dont want that to happen. Is there any way you can send the request parameters to an external url and still hide it from being seen.
I dont have to be using an <iframe> but any thing similar will work.

Thanks,
Martin

I suppose you could fetch the page yourself and include the contents from within you JSP file. Then you wouldn't have to do any username/password/iframe things on the client side.

Are you doing some validations in your iframe ?

If not why dont you just send the userid and query the database in the iframe and fetch whatever you want.

I think what Nathaniel mean is, in your serverside servlet/JSP code, you can actually call this external url and embed the response of that in the output HTML.

Please check out HttpURLConnection class. It will allow you to call this external URL , get the response and embed it in your output.
