Hi out there,

does anybody know a way to update an existing HTML-page (created by a
servlet) from another servlet ?

My situation is:

I am writing a testprogram in order to  learn about servlets . So that
I can compare them to
applets.
I make use of 3  servlets (A, B and C) and a class (model) that holds
the data and the connection to a database.
A acts as the view and can invoke/display servlet B when the user clicks
on a link (a href),
this is a kind of selection for specific configuration types;  the links
are part of a huge table.

Servlet B allows the user to change some parameter for that specific
link. Servlet B calls servlet C that updates the
model .

Now I want servlet A to be updated as well, but not via polling in A.
(like e.g. response.setHeader("Refresh", refreshRate)).

What I currently try within C is:

    String view = "test.A";  //   name of servlet A
    response.sendRedirect (view);

which invokes servlet A, that reads the changed model data.

Not surprisingly , that I have 2 open views after doing this. Is an
update of an existing page possible at all ?
Every clue is welcome.


Thanks in advance

Ralph
