Java Help - Servlets

[Rose Girl]

Hi

I am using the response.sendRedirect(url) method. url is path to
another servlet. Example:

response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL
("/EcBugManager/servlet/bugmanager.bugmanager.gui.BugsheetPage?
type="+bugsheetType+"&page="+page);

I am using the response.encodeRedirectURL to encode the url as i dont
want the parameters to be seen in the explorer - address bar.

?? But nothing happens, it just returns the same string with all the
paramteers without being encoded.

Am i using the correct way to encode the url, or is there another way
to do it.

Please, help me on this
Thanks for your time

Rose.

Hi Rose, URLEncoding just changes certain characters in the url string a
space for example becomes %20, see here for a list of codes
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_ref_urlencode.asp
If you don't want the query string to be seen you need to post the data
(typically from a browser). If you are wanting to pass the data from one
Servlet to another Servlet check out the RequestDispatcher in the api & (set
attributes in the HttpSession, ServletRequest or ServletContext). A
RequestDispatcher can be obtained from the ServletContext or from the
ServletRequest & HttpServletRequest. The RequestDispatcher obtained from the
ServletRequest can take a relative path. See
ServletRequest.getNamedDispatcher() also.
