Geeta's warning about one consequence is quite correct. So is the warning that you're going to make the performance of your application worse, because a redirect requires an extra round trip to the client (a forward is basically a glorified subroutine call that happens only on the server, which is why the browser doesn't change it's address -- it never knew what happened). <personal-opinion> In a web *applicaton* (as opposed to a web *site*), URLs should be thought of as an internal implementation detail, not a primary user-accessible feature. If you find your users getting distracted by the displayed URLs (or, worse, trying to bookmark them, which will never work unless your app takes pains to make it work), consider creating a frameset with a single frame in it (so the shown address never changes), or use JavaScript to create a new window that does not have a location bar. Other folks will disagree with me on this, of course, but in my general response is "show me where the back button and bookmarks window are in a Swing app, and I'll make them available in my web app." :-) </personal-opinion> > Regards, > Geeta > Craig McClanahan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
