Hi friends I have just started learning JSP.I created 3 jsp's namely 1.jsp,2.jsp and 3.jsp as below:

1.jsp:
<html>
<BODY>
<FORM name="form1" method="post" action="2.jsp">
A:<INPUT type="text" name="a" id="a">
B:<INPUT type="text" name="b" id="b">
<INPUT type="submit" value="Go">
</FORM>
<%
String a = request.getParameter("a");
String b = request.getParameter("b");
session.setAttribute("a",a);
session.setAttribute("b",b);
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

2.jsp:
<html>
<BODY>
<form name="form2" action="3.jsp" method="post">
C:<INPUT type="text" name="c">
D:<INPUT type="text" name="d">

<INPUT type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>

3.jsp:

<html>
<BODY>
<P>

A:<INPUT type="text" value="<%=session.getAttribute("a")%>">
B:<INPUT type="text" value="<%=session.getAttribute("b")%>">
C:<INPUT type="text" value="<%=request.getParameter("c")%>">
D:<INPUT type="text" value="<%=request.getParameter("d")%>">

</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I want to print the values of text fields of 1.jsp and 2.jsp in 3.jsp I put the values of "a" and "b" in a session but I am able to retrieve those values into 3.jsp please help me in this regard
thanks in advance

Ramu,
The form in 1.jsp needs to be submitted before you can access the request.getParameter(). You need to move the block of code into 2.jsp and set the session values there. So 2.jsp would look like this:

2.jsp:
<html>
<BODY>
<%
String a = request.getParameter("a");
String b = request.getParameter("b");
session.setAttribute("a",a);
session.setAttribute("b",b);
%>
<form name="form2" action="3.jsp" method="post">
C:<INPUT type="text" name="c">
D:<INPUT type="text" name="d">

<INPUT type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hope this helps

For an explanation of the fundamentals of how JSPs operate, perhaps this article may be helpful.

Please use real words when posting to the forums. Abbreviations such as "tnx" in place of "thanks" only serve to make your posts more difficult to read and less likely to generate useful responses.

Please read this for more information.

thanks,
