Passing a String[] from jsp to servlet

[JayaSiji Gopal]

Hi!

I have a jsp page, where I am setting a String[] as a request attribute.
In the corresponding servlet, I say request.getAttribute("key") -> I get Null Pointer Exception.

I tried using RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("relative path"); -- line 1
rd.forward(request,response);

After putting the above two lines, the jsp page isnt rendered properly and gives a Translation error.

My servlet is in a package a.b.c.Servlet.java. How do I give this path in line 1.

Give the URL mapping that's valid for this servlet as specified in web.xml

Are you trying to pass the value from the webpage back to the server this way?
How are you getting from your JSP to the servlet?

just use request.getParameters() in servlet from jsp.
