and last two jsps have back buttons to modify first two.

It seems that you already know that you'll need to employ the session.

can please tell me if i can post i question here on the same topice with some difference...

if yes, please read the below mentioned ..

my first.jsp

<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="SaveName.jsp">

What's your name? <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=username SIZE=20>
<P><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>

</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

this is my second jsp called savename.jsp

<%
String name = request.getParameter( "username" );
session.setAttribute( "theName", name );
%>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="first.jsp">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Clickable Button">
</FORM>
<A HREF="NextPage.jsp">Continue</A>

</BODY>
</HTML>

this is my thirs jsp

<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="SaveName.jsp">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Clickable Button">
</FORM>
Hello, <%= session.getAttribute( "theName" ) %>
</BODY>
</HTML>

even though i put my values in session, when i go back to first jsp using back buttons , the value entered there is not show. please help me.

See When your using back button all values which are added to session will be available in first jsp also.
But your not getting the values from session and putting in your fields.

What you need to do is:
In first jsp check in session whether any attribute was set with the name 'yourname'. if it is not null it means that you used back button from 3rd jsp.
so then get the value from session and put it in input value attribute.

Got it!!!
I guess my answer will help you. Let me know for any clarification on this.

what i was trying to tell you was, i want to put my data in like text box or drop down list or any kind of session scope. but when i come back ( from 3rd or 2nd jsp) should be able to edit it.

Note: com.web.SaveRecord is a servlet that does the record saving
job. The code for that is not given here.

Hi Rahul,

I gave given you the code to just look how things could be done. A better
way to do that would be using Bean, and session listeners so that Bean could
be synchronized to the database row.

I have not yet coded that portion that saves the record to the dbase. Better
if you could tell me whether this sort of code is for production use.

Anyway, on behalf of this code I can try to code the save record part too.

Thanks,
