I was trying to use AJAX to call the servlet and forward it to a new JSP. I was doing this to create the loading image display animated but the page is not forwarded.

Can someone advise how to get the loading image animated when it goes from one JSP to the other JSP..

My problem is when I try to display loading image before the submit(without ajax) , It does not animate..After submission the image shows but does not animate..

But if I call thru Ajax, the loading image animate but I am not able to forward it to next JSP..

I know you are not supposed to use Ajax to move from the current JSP. BUT I woudl like to know how to get the loading image animated as it gets the data for the next JSP.
I would like to show animated display while request is being processed using AJAX.

JSP X (submit) ---> JSP Y

but the servlet takes time (lot od DB operations) to make request ready for JSP Y. I would like to display animated loading image on JSP X while the request is being processed


Please advise

Thanks
Satya

May I ask you what you did not understand from my question..

Here is my requirement

JSP X (submit) ----- thru Servlet---> JSP Y

but the servlet takes time (lot of Database operations) to make request ready for JSP Y. I would like to display animated loading image on JSP X while the request is being processed..

If I use Ajax for the submit , the animated loading image works fine but I can not forward it to next JSP..

If I use form submit , the animated loading does not show animated,,

I would like to know how to show animated loading image on regular form submit..


Pleas let me know if you still not able to understand my requirement

Thanks
Satya

Why would you want to forward in this case anyways? A redirect is much more appropriate (See PRG Pattern). And it's easy to do a redirect once the Ajax request is complete.

Remember that the redirect need to be done on the client side when using Ajax, not on the server.

I was not able to add the redirect in the callback method of my ajax call. All I have here is a javascript method.

response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/next.jsp");
return;

Please advise

Thanks

I repest -- do not do the redirect on the server.

Use Javascript to send the page to the next location.

I have the follwoing issues with it if I do the javascript forward - window.location.href = next.jsp..

1. The URL is changing

2. Request values are not retained..

Is there a way I can do it like redirect on server..

Thanks

Regardless of whether you redirect on the client or the server all those things are true.
