RequestDispatcher return to same tab

[Lou Caudell]

Can some give an example of the correct requestDispatcher api to have the servlet return to the calling page.
I don't want it to open another tab.

Java 6
Tomcat 6.0.29
Firefox 3.6
Servlet/jsp 2.5/2.1
Eclipse galileo

This has nothing to do with the request dispatcher, but with how the request is being made on the client. This is information you'll need to supply.

It's just a standard jsp form whose action calls the servlet. The values are extracted and utilized for a smtp transaction. Then I want it to return to the same page, so validation can be added. I realize that this is easier to accomplish with struts, but I wanted to see it in this traditional form. Oh by the way the jsp is composed of header with css menus calling jsp's and a common footer.
