Question

I have this piece of code:

$('#faq').click(function () {                    var url = $.get('faq', { pagina: 'page' });     alert(url); }); 

On ‘faq’ responds to a Servlet that sets an attribute on the request

.... request.setAttribute('pageFAQ', pageFAQ); .... 

After the get jQuery prints [object XmlHttpRequest].

I would like to access to the attribute set in the Servlet but I don’t know how to do it.

Answer 1

I’m not sure that a servlet request attribute is shared with the client.

You can get hold of the response text in jQuery like so:

$('#faq').click(function () {                      $.get(     'faq',      { pagina: 'page' },     function(data) {    // callback function, executed on GET success       alert(data);     }   ); }); 

All you need to do is let your servlet return some text.
