redirecting page in JSP

[Arunagiri, Shanmugham]

I want to redirect from a jsp page to another url after checking for the parameter from request object.
When i use the command response.sendRedirect("http://..."), the next page displays,
the document has been moved to http://.... instead of showing that page.
What is the reason for this?

What you hv mentioned is not very clear.
Try using <jsp:forward> tag.
Or post your code here ... for better understanding of problem.

Hi Bharatesh,
This is my code
<% if((request.getParameter("submit")).equals("Modify")){
response.sendRedirect("http://www.seeconsulting.com/jsp/CompDisp.jsp"}%>

I just modified your code as follows :

response.sendRedirect("http://www.seeconsulting.com/jsp/CompDisp.jsp"}%>
TO 
response.encodeURL ("http://localhost:8080/examples/CompDisp.jsp");

Basically i just modified the method name.
I am not sure if this was what your problem ?

Heh
What I think you may be running into is the following:
If the 307 status code [Temporary Redirect -- PdH] is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued. -- RFC 2616, HTTP 1.1 protocol specification, section 10.3.8.
From the looks of the code snippet you gave, the request might have been a POST. In that case the fix may be as simple as either changing your form to use the GET method, or replace the redirect by a forward (if possible).
Not entirely sure, but...
have fun,
- Peter
