Share data between two web applications

[Ajay Kamble]

We are using Websphere 7.

And we want to pass data from one web application to different web application using request dispatcher forward,

RequestDispatcher rd = context.getRequestDispatcher("/App2/page.jsp")
request.setAttribute("id", 1)
rd.forward(request, response)

How can you do this in websphere?

You can't pass request attributes between applications. You can pass parameters. Try a URL of /App2/page.jsp?id=1

Although the JNDI approach may work, it's a tricky one because it introduces product dependencies and spaghetti code scenarios. Web dev is complicated enough as it is without introducing a workaround using WebSphere. Moreover, JNDI will only work effectively provided that these web apps are deployed on the same server. It's better to use http calls.
