Servlet to jsp

[Gremlin2]

Does anyone know how to invoke a jsp page from a servlet, transfering data from the Servlet to the JSP page?

Thanx

Hi,

here are the code lines to put in your servlet


RequestDispatcher rd = getSErvletContext().getRequestDispatcher("somename.jsp");
rd.forward(request, response);




if you want to transfer data to the request put the folowing before the secone line above


request.setAttribute("attName", attribute);




Cheers!

Hi again,

How do I access the data in the .jsp page? This doesn't seem to work, just returns null!

<%= request.getParameter("lname")%>




The servlet code is as follows:

RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/test.jsp");
req.setAttribute("lname", lname);
rd.forward(req, res);




Thanx

<%= request.getAttribute("lname") %>




bear in mind it's an Object and not just a String from getAttribute.
