Could you let me know how to pass selected value from a combo box to servlet and then when jsp is agian displayed how to retain valuues user would have entered.
I have a jsp, where user need to enter some fields, like txt fields, combo, radio...when he clicke submit I need to get selected values in servlet..I am unable to get the value of combo field and date. Secondly after submit is clicked all these values should be reatined on the page but all goes off obviously. How do we do that?

Can any of you pls help me out?

The code in the servlet is:
if (request.getParameter("flag") != null)
lsFlag = request.getParameter("flag");
if (lsFlag.equals("Family"))
{
request.setAttribute("flag",lsFlag);
lPageDispatcher.showPage("/HomePage.jsp");
}
//Photo gallery and go from there
if (lsFlag.equals("Gallery"))
{
request.setAttribute("flag",lsFlag);
lPageDispatcher.showPage("/Gallery.jsp");
}

In the HomePage jsp: the flag is either set to Family or Gallery depending on which link is clicked. Now once I vidited Gallery jsp, everytime I run teh servlet, it goes to Gallery and does not bring up Home page from where I need to navigate.........I hope this clears. let me know if I confused you.

using dispatcher solved the problem, but now I have another one::
A flag if set to one value dispatches JSP - 1
setting to naother values dispatches -JSP 2
but now since it is already set, it always dispatched jsp2, how to reset that?
Thanks

How do I do that? I am novice in this area.......this is my fisrt servlet/JSP....
Thanks in advance

This is how I invoke the jsp, is this the wrong way?
response.sendRedirect("/AddTrx1.jsp");

I have created a servlet and a jsp. I have a method getname() that returns a vector of names in the servlet and this is sued as follows:
lvNames = getnames();
I used the following line to set this value so I can get this diplayed in JSP:
request.setAttribute("Names",lvNames);
In the JSP: I declare lvNames and then use the following:It gives NullPointerException. What should I do? Even if I try checking for null and then use the following, nothing is retuned in the vector, although servlets loga all valuses correctly.
lvNames = (Vector)request.getAttribute("Names");

Pls advise
Thanks

One of your pointed out on my name, Preeti is perfectly valid and my true name. (I understood that Pretty was not good!!) but just to let you know 3 out of every ten in India have this name. Whats wrong? Do you still suggest I need to change>

When I say
boolean b = true;
if(b = true) {//}
else {b) {}
Shouldn't it say a compile error as in the if it should be (b == true)instad of the above, Why this works juts fine.
Pls advise!
Thanks

I think this is true -
The elements in a Java array can only be of primitive types, not objects. Why this is wrong?

Thanks, it helps. Now I think, I had been stupid to ask this?
