set value in request

Dear Experts

I have a url like this ..browse.do?option=reports

In my java class i am doing this

if (request.getParameter("option") != null) {
            String changetoMyCartAdd = request.getParameter("option");
            if(changetoMyCartAdd.equals("reports"))
            {

                  request.setAttribute("option","myCart");
                  request.setAttribute(changetoMyCartAdd,"myCart");

                  //Here i want to change reports to myCart

            }

My final output should be option=myCart i.e. value of option should be myCart

the above code doesnt work. any ideas

thanks

instead of setAttribute try using setParameter

The output of what? Sounds more like you need to call respone.sendRedirect with the url you want to me ...

The output of URL

my url should change to ..browse.do?option=myCart

it doesnt show me setParameter, it only shows me setAttribute.
Is setParameter depricated?

Attributes and Parameters are different things and you can't change the value of parameters you can only change the values of attributes. Why are you trying to change a parameter value? If you are wanting to use the changed value later on just use the attribute value that you changed.

>>> just use the attribute value that you changed

what ever i changed doesnt work

request.setAttribute(changetoMyCartAdd,"myCart");
although i set it using above statement
changetoMyCartAdd still has the value reports. i want changetoMyCartAdd to be "myCart"

or option=myCart

URLs don't have outputs. You need to response.sendRedirect from one to the other as i mentioned earlier

you need to rebuild the entire request string, you cannot do it by modifying the requrest
