Description:
The interface RequestDispatcher object receive requests from the client and
sends to file like servlet, html or jsp on the server.
There are two method of the RequestDispatcher one is forward and other is
include. So forward send a request from a servlet to another resource like
servlet, jsp, or html on the server and on the other hand the include method
includes resource of file like servlet, jsp or html in the response.
Code :
MyServlet .java
package package1;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("currently in the MyServlet ");
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
rd.include(request, response);
out.println("back to the MyServlet ");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
}
}
