redirect to another url using the post method

Hello Ranchers,
I want to collect the username & passcode of users in my jsp & after validating thru a webservice call I want to redirect to another url(third party url)sending the values entered by the user using a post method. Since by using get method the values will be appended in the url & can be seen by the outside world which I don't want to.

Thanks in advance.

Be aware that unless you are using https, post params are visible to the outside world as well -- just not in the browser address bar.

Thanks Bear, but can you help me out how to redirect to another url & send those values using post method ? I assume the values will be lost when we redirect url using post method.

use POST method instead of GET,POST method is more secure.

use interface request dispatcher, it receives requests from the client and sends them to any resource (such as a servlet, HTML file, or JSP file) on the server. The servlet container creates the RequestDispatcher object, which is used as a wrapper around a server resource located at a particular path or given by a particular name,then use the method forward.

I dont think its possible to redirect using a RequestDispatcher. You could always forward or include however.

Redirect is essentially a browser action. The response, in its header, would contain a redirect code with the redirect url. The browser reads this header and does a 'GET' request to the url. As far as I know, its not possible to force the browser to issue a post request for a redirect.

ram.
