JSP file and one is the html file for constructing a form with user name and
password field. These are as follows:
- GetAttributeMethod.html
- GetAttributeMethod.jsp
- GetAttributeMethod1.jsp
When you submit the html form
GetAttributeMethod.jsp file is caller which set the attribute name and create a
RequestDispatcher for dispatching the request and response object
with all properties and states of that. This created dispatcher redirects the
control to the GetAttributeMethod1.jsp file directly after setting all the
functionalities existed in the GetAttributeMethod.jsp page.
