Hello all, I have a question about the Servelet Methode init call. Whenn I call a website e.g. http://bla/servlet/bla.MyServlet. It will first run the init Methode of this Servlet and then the doPost od doGet. But how could I do this manual ? I have servlets, that need a other Servervlet to be run first (in background, otherwise i had done is with sendRedirect). I must do somthing like public class ServletB { public void init(ServletConfig config){ if (ServletA isn't init){ <- i will test it with a varibale is set or null ServletA test = new ServletA(); test.init() } that won't work , but gives also no error back ?! have someone an Idee ? Plz wrote back, thanks for inconvenience, Michael
