getRequestDispatcher problem

[Rocky Khan]

I am new to jsp-servlet and Ranch too.
When i submit jsp page it sends info to servlet and servlet process that data and send response as home page..
but at the home page address URL it shows the parameters passed to servlet and their values..
like this

http://www.coderanch.com/forums/jforum?module=posts&action=insert&forum_id=9

Is there is any way to conver this URL in the following form..

http://www.coderanch.com/home.jsp

Here is some part of servlet code

RequestDispatcher rd=request.getRequestDispatcher("home.jsp");
rd.forward(request, response);

There is some terms like URL rewriting, will it help me?..

Please Help..
Thanks in advance..

I hope I understand you correctly - You do not want your request parameters to show int he URL. If so, then implement doPost instead of doGet.

Thank you for reply Bosun..

Will try it....

Hi,
I think you should use response object's send Redirect method to do that so that url will be show what it is in actual.

Hey abani,

I want to retain my session and as per my information using sendRedirect in response ends the session..

Thank you for reply..

A redirect most certainly does not end a session.

[Hebert Coelho]

With a redirect you will not be able to access the data from the first request, the session still fine.

Try something like

response.sendRedirect("newPage.jsp");

Thank you all for giving me your precious time...
