Hello,
I am confused with above two usage and their advantage over others. By doing
1) RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/servlet/emSessionInit");
rd.forward(request,response);
and
2) emSessionInit ems = (BookDBServlet) getServletConfig().getServletContext().getServlet("emSessionInit");
ems.doPost(request,response);
My doubts are
a) What are limitations of 1 & 2, which context they can be used.
b) Can I do (2), i.e. By getting handle to
servlet can i call doPost method of that servlet?
c) Is it possible to call any other method of servlet by using request dispacther object?
d) Clearly it is not possible to call servlet residing in diffrent server than the current server by 2, I am correct ?
e) When I use forward or include of RequestDispatch object what methods of calling servlet called, is it determined by what method in request object?
Sorry ... the list is big.. But if anybody can help me it would be great help for me. I think these quesion has to be answered by experts, Frank & Bill any help from you end?
Thanks once again,
reagrds,
Holla.
