I have Vector declared in index.jsp page like this:
<%! Vector vNumbers = new Vector();%>
I want to use it in servlet, how do I correctly get it? Also, how do I send Vector back from servlet to JSP? Thanks!
Joeri, no, I dont use framework. I have the following servlet:
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.FileWriter;
public class Sort extends HttpServlet {
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
addNumber(request);
goToPage("/index.jsp", request, response);
}
private void goToPage(String address, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException{
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(address);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);}
public static void addNumber(HttpServletRequest request){
try{
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
String path = session.getServletContext().getRealPath("/") + "numbers.txt";
String dataName = "textarea2";
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path, true);
writer.write(dataName + ":\n");
writer.flush();
writer.close();}
catch ( Exception e) {}
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
}
}
Here is index.jsp:
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%! Vector vNumbers = new Vector();%>
