Redirect Servlet Call to Another URL

Do you need help with your Java programming?

Click here for instant help with your Java code.

To redirect a call from a servlet to some other url, use the sendRedirect() method of the HttpServletResponse object that is passed to the service() method.
The sendRedirect() method takes the new destination url as a string parameter.

import java.io.*;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

/**
* Example Servlet
* @author www.javadb.com
*/
public class ExampleServlet extends HttpServlet {

    /**
     * Processes requests for both HTTP <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods.
     * @param request servlet request
     * @param response servlet response
     */
    protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {

        //Redirect call to another url
        response.sendRedirect("http://www.java.com");
    }

}
