I’ve got a JSP redirecting to a URL backed by a servlet just fine – for example, with
<jsp:forward page="/myservlet"/>
but I’d like to switch the method from the incoming GET to a POST against the servlet URL.
How can I do that?
You can’t. The incoming request has to be a POST as well. Just execute the desired job in the
doGet()method.Please note that
<jsp:forward>doesn’t do a redirect. A redirect is basically a 3nn response with aLocationheader pointing to the new URL on which the browser has to invoke a new GET request (which get reflected in browser address bar as well). Theresponse.sendRedirect()does that with a 302 response. A forward takes place fully internally in the server side, without changing the request URL.
