request object from http to https

[sreeni san]

Hi,

I have a form generated by servlet1 (by calling http://servlet/servlet1) and on submitting this form another servlet, servlet2 is called through "https" protocol. In the servlet2, the request object is found to be null disabling me to collect parameters passed from the servlet1 form.

Please help me solve this problem.

Thanks

Sreeni

This looks really unlikely. Can you give more, or more precise, information?

Are you sure your setup is correct. There is a lot more the "HTTPS" then writting it in a URL. You can handle "HTTPS" many different ways. You can do it in your code, web.xml, and/or web server or servlet engine.

If your SSL and HTTPS are setup correctly make sure that your calling servlet is using the same protocol as your request handling servlet.

Meaning

Servlet1 -[HTTPS]-> HTML FORM1 -[HTTPS]-> Servlet2

Not

Servlet1 -[HTTP]-> HTML FORM1 -[HTTPS]-> Servlet2

This is because https and http use different ports, so if you switch the ports in mid request, you'll have servlet1 writting to a different port than the one servlet2 is reading from.
