calling one servlet from another servlet

[preethi Ayyappan]

Hi,
How do i call one servlet from another?In one servlet named RefServlet,I am getting the username and password and updating some fields in database if the username matches with the database.Then i need to call another servlet page (AutoServlet)which is refreshing automatically containing a logout button.

Thanks

You can use RequestDispatcher.forward to forward your request to the second Servlet

Thank you.can i use response.sendRedirect() method instead of RequestDispatcher.forward

You can do this but the difference would be, with a response.sendRedirect (), an entirely new request, response objects gets created.

If you want to pass the original request information like attributes and parameters to second servlet then you must use RequestDispatcher.forward ()
