problem with request.setAttribute in jsp

[roger james]

Hi

I am having two jsp pages.

One.jsp and two.jsp.

I am using scriplet code in the One.jsp to set attribute like this :

request.setAttribute(“Name”,”Java”);

In the form action of one.jsp I am giving the value as “two.jsp”.

And after submitting , when I am trying to get the attribute using request.getAttribute(“Name”) in the second jsp , it is printing null.

I checked if the request objects are different , but when I printed the request object in one and two jsps they both gave same value ,i.e same request object is passed from one.jsp to two.jsp.

Then why am I not able to get the attribute in the second jsp page if the request object that is passed is same.

Anybody help me understanding , how and when the request object is created.

you might want to change the 'Request' to 'request'. The latter is an implicit object in JSP, but the former one is an unknown entity.

If you submit a form or go to a another jsp page, a new request object is created. I think

When you one.jsp is loaded, a request object is created and you are setting the value in that object.

  request.setAttribute(“Name”,”Java”);    

When you submit the form a new JSP page(two.jsp) is rendered and a new request object is created.

Hope this helps and I can be pretty sure that same request object cannot be transferred when you submit the form.

I think the only chance where the request object can be forwarded is when you forward the request.

Your conclusion is incorrect. The two requests are different,.
