Hi,
        There is nothing like request.setParameter(). When ever you submit 
a form (say JSP),  all the controls in the form like textbox, checkbox, 
textarea etc..will be submitted to the Action or Servelt with the names 
given to them and these values can be retrieved through 
request.getParameter("name").  Here the "name" is the name given to each 
control in JSP. On the other hand request.setAttribute() is some thing 
through which the user can explicitly store the required information. For 
example, if you use request.setAttribute("MY_ATT", new Interger(4)) in 
either Action or Servlet, then you can retrieve the value in JSP through 
request.getAttribute("MY_ATT").

difference between setAtttibute and setPatameter







Hi guys

I wanted to know wat is the difference between request.setAttribute and
request.setParameter. Rather there seems to be nothing called
request.setParameter wen there is request.getParameter.

Is the only way to pass values from action to jsp is
request.setAttribute and then request.getAttribute in jsp???

Thanks

Ankit





Its amazing wat u can achieve if u don't care who gets the credit
