hai kotan,

could i attach 8 hiddenfields through the redirect url(test2).however the hiddenfield values are dynamic.is it possible to send dynamic values over querystring.if so,could u give me the sample code.

besides using URL params you can use session or attach the strings to request.

If you are doing a redirect.. try doing a forward instead.
if you can use a forward() then you can attach the strings to request and retrieve them appropriately like so:

request.setAttribute("attributename", varname);

and then retrieve it using:
String myStr = (String) request.getAttribute("attributename");

or use session.

This way you can redirect to wherever and be able to retrieve it without having to construct a lengthy URL.

use this for session:

session.setAttribute("attributename", varname);

for retrieving
String myStr = (String) session.getAttribute("attributename");

building URL params can be combersome esp when you have a lot of them b/c you do have to URLEncode them as you append them to the URL.
