I am new to Servlet, and this might be a dumb question, but I’ve been searching for a solution online for a long time, but still cannot find an answer.
I am trying to insert a link using servlet. Everyday said simply use:

//response is the HttpServiceResponse
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<A HREF=\"http://www.something.com\">link</A>");

however, every time when I do that, all the < turn into ‘&lt’; which was really annoying.
Please let me know how to solve this?
I am running my code on eclipse(Indigo), would that be a factor?

Thank you

    Well this isnt’ the way to use Servlet..
    if you just need to put static link don’t use java simple HTML is enough .

    Or in case you need dynamic URL then

    from Servlet

    request.setAttribute("urlID",someValue);
//forward the request to jsp

    on jsp

    <a href="http://staticPartOfURl?id=${urlID}"> click me</a>
