I have 2 questions.
First how can I call a servlet from a frame?
Second, how can I passed data from a servlet to a jsp?
Thanks in advance.

as for the jsp part, I will be learning that in a couple of weeks when I get some projects done. To call a servlet from html frame, you just call the class file.
<FRAME SRC="/servlets/My_Servlet" NAME="body" NORESIZE
frameborder="YES" scrolling="YES" bordercolor="#999999">
Usually this is all inside frameset tags or whatever.
I hope this is what you were asking...

add it into request object...
you can add your objects into the HttpServletRequest object
and then redirect from your servlet to the jsp page.
e.g. from "AServlet.java", passing a String object to the "a.jsp" file.
...doGet(HttpServletRequeet req, HttpServletResponse res)
// the jsp file i wanna redirect to
String target = "a.jsp";
// creating a String object
String hello = "Hello people!";
// add it into the HttpServletRequest object
// create a dispatch from the ServletContext object
// to do the redirection for me =)
// don't forget to specify where you wanna go.
RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(target);
// now here is the magic... you are passing the
// HttpServletRequest obj and HttpServletResponse obj
// to the jsp page
// code here will not be execute since you have
// pass the control to "a.jsp"
In the "a.jsp" page, you can retrieve the "hello" object
by doing this:
String hello = (String)request.getAttribute("hello");
It's very helpful by doing this because you can hide
all the business logic inside the Servlet and the JSP
file will just be doing printing...
hope it help.
