I'm looking to write a request gathered from a simple HTML form to an HTTPRequest object in Java; ultimately, I'm looking to reload a page to print out different data based on the selections the user makes from a form - without relying on a servlet. The Java code portion of the JSP looks something like this:
if (request.getAttribute("month") == "January") {
getSomeData;
}
else {
getSomeOtherData;
}
The actual HTML code looks something like this:
<form name="month" method="post">
<select name="monthField"
<option value="January">January</option>
<option value="February">February</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
SHOWSOMEDATA
I omitted the action field, which reloads the page just fine, but it doesn't seem to be writing to the request; the original code (can't post it - it's for work) has a more complex if/show test, and the page loads with the ("month"==null) case every time, so it obviously isn't posting correctly. What can I do to perform the POST option properly?
