Question

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, 
            HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
....
....
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/output.jsp").forward(request, response);
}

What I need is not to redirect into another JSP page at the end of doPost. I have a string (plane text), I need to response it as for the Servlet request. How can I do this?

Answer 1

you can do it like this:

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
  response.setContentType("text/html");
  PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
  out.append("Your string goes here");
  out.close();
}
