I am trying to redirect the user from one jsp page to another jsp

  • 0

I am trying to redirect the user from one jsp page to another jsp page after making him wait for 10 seconds or 10000 milliseconds. But there is a redirect as soon as the page is opened in the browser. Why is this is so ? Is there anything wrong in the following code ? I am calling the redirectFunction which does the redirect.

<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>JSP - 1</title>
    <script>
        function redirectFunction() {
            <% response.sendRedirect("jsp-2.jsp"); %>
        }
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    <h1>
        Wait while you are redirected...
    </h1>
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
        setTimeout(redirectFunc,10000); // wait for 10 seconds,then call redirectFunc
    </script>
</body>

    You sends redirect exactly from server that`s why it fired immediatelly.

    If you want to fire redirect after 10 seconds than you need to change your code:

    function redirectFunction() {
    window.location.href = "jsp-2.jsp"
}

    and setTimeout(redirectFunction,10000);

    Actually when you call <% response.sendRedirect("jsp-2.jsp"); %> Java server sets http code 302 to your http response, and header Location: jsp-2.jsp
    And browser redirects to page specified in Location header immediately.

    Hope it helps.
