Passing object from JSP to servlet or another JSP page

[samart mateo]

Hello everyone,

can anybody tell me how to pass an object to another servlet or JSP page?
I have a list of groups such as:

CTRM Aero Composites
-- Finance
-- Program B1
-- Program B2
-- Strategic Development
---- Operation Analysis
CTRM AU
-- Finance

Each of these groups are actually a link that could open up another page, sending with it the object of each group.

I tried doing this:

    
<a href="javascript:parent.openIFrame('iframe2','Context/WorkGroup.jsp')" class="workflow2" title="View or Add New Workgroup" on Click="<% session.setAttribute("wgSend", wg); %>"> <%= wg.getWorkGroup() %></a>

but the session.setAttribute was not initiated upon on click action.

Can someone assist me on this?

Thank you.

This will not work because javascript is client side scripting language. You can not set session variable in javascript

Yes, realised that already..thank you.
But, can anybody advise me how to send object to another page?

You'll need to give us some relevant information about the nature of the object.

Generally, scoped variables (set via setAttribute() methods) are used. Request scope is used to "pass" information to resources in the same request, while session scope is used to extend the life of the variable beyond a single request.
