web services

[mshaikh shaikh]

Hi, can any one solve my problem?
i have develop a web service, it takes user data n after processing redirect to another web page.
problem is that how it will redirect to another page?

[Ulf Dittmer]

WS are normally accesssed by non-human clients, so it generally doesn't make sense to redirect to a web page (which is generally designed for human consumption). What, exactly, are you trying to do?

[mshaikh shaikh]

actually i want to authenticate the user n then redirect the user to a web page

[Ulf Dittmer]

So *is* there a WS , or is it just about web pages?

[mshaikh shaikh]

its a web service

[Ulf Dittmer]

Then there isn't really a concept of redirecting to a web page.

What, exactly, are you trying to do?

[mshaikh shaikh]

my application is that,
web service get the data from user and then send this data to another web service

You're not giving us anywhere near enough information to suggest how you might proceed.

From the web interface send the login information to controller like servlet, and acce ss your WS in the servlet, authenticate the user credentials entered... and redirect the user to home page or error page from your Controller/servlet. Hope that helps...

[mshaikh shaikh]

can you help me more how i will "access WS in servlet "

[Prabhakar Reddy Bokka]

Nothing special, its the same way how you call your WS from java client.
Just make sure your servlet/project in classpath for all the WS libraries.
