form not submitting from frame set

Hi All,

I am using a frameset in which there is a left frame and a right frame. The left frame is having four links, which on click should display the respective jsp on right hand side.
This is working fine for me. But, when I submit the right hand side jsp, there are no changes on the screen. What is the reason for this and how can I rectify this.
I haven�t done any configuration of jsp in web.xml. I am using a controller servlet( MVC architecture) and the same is mapped in web.xml with url pattern <B> /Controller </B>

The relevant parts of the code are

The Frameset is

The left frame is

The right frame is

Please help and guide me by providing a solution for this

Is there an alternate better solution for this other than frame set?

thanks and regards

action="?action=checkTicket"

It doesn't look like a URL ! What url did you map your controller to ? (in web.xml)

Remove target="second" as redundant since it will submit to the containing frame by default.

You might also want to consider more modern design approaches than framesets which sort of went out of fashion with the new millenium.

Hi,

thanks for the replies.

I removed the target attribute. Then also it is not working. My web.xml is

Could you tell me what method can be used instead of frameset?

thanking you in advance,

struts:tiles

I'd not recommend adopting a behemoth like Struts just to try and fix a simple form submit issue.

hi,

thanks for the replies. The purpose here is just to demonstrate the use of MVC pattern and I am not allowed to use struts-tiles. What I have done is , I wrote a controller ( that is a servlet) which accepts all input requests from browser.The jsp files are used as views. However simple the structure is, it is more welcome.

Can I go for a table structure, where the the first column includes the left hand side( static) jsp file and the second column the changed ones? Also I thought of using some dhtml set too like using div.Which one is recommended?

Please advise.

thanks and regards
