I have a servlet that I use multiple times for form data and display. I use a
redirect method when necessary. I am curious as to the reason you need to
refresh. If the user submits the data, then save the data and display a page
witht he data all in the same method then there would be no refresh. If you
must use a refresh a redirect to the servlet would do the same thing and would
alleviate your data submission problem.
HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect("http://your.url.com?data=" +
HttpServletRequest.getParameter("data") );
append any data necessary to the end of the URL if necessary as the above
example shows

Subject: interesting form question????
Hello,
I have a very challenging question about forms. I am working on an
interactive servlet that allows users to enter data into a text field,
submit the data. The data is updated on the server and re-displayed on the
SAME FORM in a non-editable text field when the screen is refreshed. The
problem I am having is that when the servlet is refreshed, the data that was
attached to the end of the url is re-submitted. This is causing major
problems for me. If possible, I would like to be able to use the same
servlet to generate the form fields and be able to process the data being
entered and re-diplay the new data on the same form when refreshed. Does
anyone know how this can be done? The servlet I currently have works great
except for the data re-submission problem. Any help is greatly appreicated.
Thanks
Duke
