Servlet Redirection.

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
  javax.servlet.http.HttpSession session = request.getSession();
  javax.servlet.ServletContext aContext = session.getServletContext();
  javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher rd  = aContext.getRequestDispatcher(yourSevletPath);
  rd.forward(request, response);
}

Also
I want to invoke Myservlet as an HTTPS request.
That means
http://servlet/MyServlet(request)
The above request should be made

sorry in the above comments https is missing
https://servlet/MyServlet(request)

you may need to try a redirect then:

response.sendRedirect("https://servlet/MyServlet");

will try that option and let u know if it works

Objects..
ur code invokes Myservlet but I also want my requestobject to be passed to Myservlet..

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
 javax.servlet.http.HttpSession session = request.getSession();
 javax.servlet.ServletContext aContext = session.getServletContext();
 javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher rd  = aContext.getRequestDispatcher("https://servlet/MyServlet");
 rd.forward(request, response);
}

doesn't it work?

> but I also want my requestobject to be passed to
> Myservlet..

don't think u can do it if you want to switch to https.
the browser needs to resend the request.

Perhaps you could store the relevant parts of the request in the session, or add then to the request url.

just try to user

response.sendRedirect("https://yourserver/servlet/MyServlet?" + request.getQueryString()):

this won't work when using multipart forms but for simple parameters it should work out.

am not able to compile the above code.
getting the error in the below line.
javax.servlet.ServletContext aContext = session.getServletContext();

There is no getServletContext() method in the session object.


public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher rd  = request.getRequestDispatcher("https://servlet/MyServlet");
rd.forward(request, response);
}

I tried the above code.
and am getting the below exception when i run the program
ServletInstan X Uncaught service() exception thrown by servlet {0}: {1}
                                 "frontservlet"
                                 javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.ServletRequest: method getRequestDispatcher(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/servlet/RequestDispatcher; not found
     at javax.servlet.ServletException.<init>(ServletException.java:73)
     at

squeezeMe> I already mentioned trying that.

are you sure ...


as far as i understood you were trying to accomplish this using the RequestDispatcher, but what you want won't be working with the RequestDispatcher... you're leaving the ServletContext when you want to call that https resource.

anyway, this is what I thought you tried:

javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher rd  = request.getRequestDispatcher("https://servlet/MyServlet");
rd.forward(request, response);

this is what i suggested:
don't use the ServletContext not the RequestDispatcher...
just use response.sendRedirect...

response.sendRedirect("https://www.microsoft.com?" + request.getQueryString());


i testest my solution on tomcat 4.x and orion successfully.
which server are you using. the error you're getting is quite strange...
so either i dont understand your problem, or you did not try my solution and mixed it up with some ServletContext and RequestDispatcher action...

cheers

Squuezeme
I tried ur code..Its workiing fine..
Will close the question a little later

Objects,
I couldnt try using request dispatcher because it is giving an error in my websphere.
I have seen the jsdk jar in the lib dir of websphere.
It doestnt have any RequestDispatcher class in it..

(Websphere 3.5)

> I couldnt try using request dispatcher

For the second time, I never mentioned anything about RequestDispatcher.
What I suggested was exactly what Squeezeme said, though I suggested first :-)
