Hi Nic
Thanks for the reply.
I took a look at the methods you suggested.
The documentation says this has been
deprecated because it is dangerous to access
Servlets which are in an unknown state.
This leads to the question - If I only have this
pre 2.1 method available to me should I use it?
Basically I am trying to do this ( without JSP ):
1. A request comes from client to my ControllerServlet
2. Controller requests an Object from a ServiceLayer
3. The returned Object is placed in the users session
Now here is the problem
4. I want to pass control to a 'ViewServlet' which will
accesses the Object from the session and formats a
page back to the client.
Thanks
Liam
