Hi,
I have a problem when using request.sendRedirect.....
The scenario:
-----------------
I have the example.jsp page with 3 form buttons: text, image and word.
The form tag is:
<form name="searchForm" action="example.jsp" method="POST">
If "text" or "image" button is pressed, then a table or an image is
generated into the jsp page.
If "word" button is pressed, then I generate a ".word" file (in another
jsp page) and (I want to) prompt the user with a pop up
window, so he can select open or save the file.
In the code I check if "word" button was pressed, and if so I do a
request.sendRedirect("/wordGenerator.jsp").
wordGenerator.jsp writes to the output a stream the word file contents.
The problem:
------------------
After submitting "word" button, in "example.jsp" I get the page html
mixed with the result of printing the word file. The reason I found is: "You
also have to call sendRedirect before sending any output whatsoever. Don't
even tempt yourself by acquiring the output stream."
So I don't know how to solve this problem. Any ideas?
Thanks.
