Servlet Chaining with RequestDispatcher

The RequestDispatcher object can forward requests to other resources or include resources in responses. Forwarding passes the request and response objects to another servlet, clearing the previous response. Including embeds the content of another resource in the current response without changing headers or status codes. The document provides an example using RequestDispatcher to forward and include requests between servlets for a login form.

Servlet Chaining pages using RequestDispatcher

By candid | Posted : Dec 6, 2015 | Updated : Dec 6, 2015

A RequestDispatcher object can be used to forward a request to


the resource or to include the resource in a response. The resource can be
dynamic or static.

The pathname specified may be relative, although it cannot access outside


the current application.
This method returns null if the servlet container cannot return a
RequestDispatcher.

Forward
Forwards a request from a servlet to another resource (servlet or
JSP file) on the server.
We can use one servlet to do preliminary processing of a request
and another resource to generate the output response.
Any response from the first servlet will be automatically cleared
before forwarding to second servlet.
The forwared Servlet will be using the same request and response
object send by first servlet.

Include
Includes the content of a resource (servlet or JSP page) in the
response. In essence, this method enables programmatic server-side
includes.
The included servlet cannot change the response status code or set
headers of first servlet, any attempt to make a change is ignored.
