Nope yo can't!
I guess you want your JSP code to do some "focusing"!
I would suggest dynamically generate javascript code which focuses needed
field!
When the page will be rendered your newly generated code wll execute on
client side
and focus!
The trick is that server side code can't interact with client side code
and when client
side code starts working that means that server side code allready
finished it's work!

Subject: RE : setting the field focus with a servlet
Hi Luke,
AFAIK, it's not possible to interact on the client side using Java (unless
using Applets).
You need JavaScript to fire events on the client browser, like focus() on
a
text field or the like.
However, for form content check you can use your Servlet / JSP to retrieve
all request parameters, check them and send your response accordingly.
I don't know if I've answered your question.

Objet : setting the field focus with a servlet
Hi,
I am working on a servlet that checks a form content without using
javascript.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set the focus to a particular field
using java?
thanks for any help :-)
kind regards,
Luke
