Hello Casper,
Thank you for your answer. What you are explaining totally makes sense.
The "doPost()" method of "SERVLET_2" ("WEBAPP_2") ends up with a
"sendRedirect()" method call
which redirects to "j1.jsp", a JSP in the first webapp ("WEBAPP_1").
Let's forget about sessions and passing whole objects from one webapp to
another.
What I rather need is pass at least one parameter from the servlet
"SERVLET_2" to the JSP "j1.jsp".
I could pass these parameters using the "GET" method, for example here with
the parameter "result":
note: The list (Or my mail client?) has stripped the "graphic" but I
checked it in the nabble thread version (for anyone interested go check
it there too)...
If you want to display something user specific / session specific you
need something else but result=ok, perhaps id=SOME-ID, where SOME-ID is
some id on server2, then Server1/JSP1 can contact Server2 giving this id
as a parameter, so that Server2 can give the correct result (ie. ok). If
you simply want ok/fail in JSP1 then it should be okay to simply do what
you do (as long as Server2 and JSP1 agrees on the possible results),
just be aware that a user can fake that URL - simply put
http://<IP_1>/<WEBAPP_1 name>/j1.jsp?result=ok in your browser and
j1.jsp will handle the request the same way as redirects from Server2
(so don't use Servlet_2 for anything "confidential" ie. login-checking).
If you want to be able to do it securely (ie. for login-checking) you
need the extra step I mentioned in my first post (Server1 contacts
Server2 by itself to get the result of what happened over there simply
giving some unique id that Server2 supplied in the redirect URL to the
client).
And retrieve this parameter in "j1.jsp" like this:
note: same as above...
But I wish I could pass that parameter using the "POST" method...
but as far as I've read, it looks like it's not possible...
No it is not possible, what you do is simply sending an URL to the
client, asking it to make a request to that URL next/instead so POST is
not an option here (admitted, my http 1.1 spec knowledge is rusty and
flawed, but I'm quite sure on this).
Best regards.
