reg. sendRedirect

[Pardhu Sitha]

Tell me the Diff. between <jsp:forward> and sendRedirect

[MInu]

sendRedirect() method allows you to redirect the request to any other resourse which is outside of the current web application.The redirection is made by the client.SendRedirect is a new request so you can't access the current request and response objects there.Since it is a fresh request the request and response objects available are NEW.

The jsp forward action can forward the request to another web application component where you can access the current request and response objects and access all the parameters.


Thanks.

"Vinod NS",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

This makes it sounds as if resources within the current web app cannot be targetted by a redirect and that is not the case.
