@WebServlet RequestDispatcher Include Example
In this tutorial you will learn how to include the content into another resources in the response.
Sometimes it is required to include the another resource's content or want write to the body in the response that is returned from a web component. include(request, response) method of RequestDispatcher is used for including the another resource's content/information. The example is given below will demonstrate you to how can you include the content/information into another resource.
In the following example I am trying that a valid user(i.e Name = bipul and Password= bipul) can only be logged in. So, if a user will give the incorrect information(i.e Either Name or Password is given other than the bipul) in the form then the servlet will redirect again to the login form including the error message.
Example
login.html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Login Page</title> </head> <body> <form method="get" action="RequestIncludeExample"> <p>Give the following details</p> Name <input type="text" name="name"/><br> Password <input type="password" name="psw"/><br> <input type="submit" value="submit"/> </form> </body> </html>

throws ServletException, IOException

Output :
login table :
When you will execute this example you will get the output as :
When you will enter the value the like as :
After filling the information and if the filled information is wrong then the login page will be redirected again including the message written in servlet for error prone.
