Re: RequestDispatcher.forward()-Problem with anchors
thank you, Rob! (thank you, Michael) ... it sounds consistent. once more again to secure, i understand it correct: a forward in opposition to a redirect is some server-internal operation, whose result is send back to the browser. as the browser itself don't realize it, the anchor at the url has not the desired effect. ok. that a redirection with a anchor-url operates, is clear. is there a trick to anyhow get some related behavior with forward to work? or is this not necessary, because i can access the original session object at the second page in the case of a redirect as well? (i think this was my error in reasoning, that i have to use a forward when using sessions) thank you again, bAs T.

But going back to my first point, since the browser is unaware of the forward anyway, anchors won't work. Do a redirect to the browser instead. -- Rob --On Monday, March 05, 2001 10:09:24 AM -0800 Filip Hanik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Sebastian, Sebastian Schulz wrote: is there a trick to anyhow get some related behavior with forward to work? or is this not necessary, because i can access the original session object at the second page in the case of a redirect as well? I think so. If you want to send an error, store it in the session and check it in the receiving servlet.

RE: RequestDispatcher.forward()-Problem with anchors
I thought the anchor tag was something that was interpreted by the browser, not the server. doesn't the server just ignore those? correct me if I am wrong!
