JSP help, please.

[Jason]

Hi, all,
I have two JSP pages, one is searchCriteria.jap and another is
searchResults.jsp,
I need to have two buttons in searchResults.jsp (revsie and new search), here is
my question:
in searchCriteria.jsp, if user typed '123456780' in SSN field, then displayed
nothing in searchResults.jsp becasue there is no such SSN in database, then when
user click 'Revise' button in searchResults.jsp, how can I pass current
SSN(123456780) to searchCriteria.jsp, that user can see what's wrong and
modified 123456780' to '123456789'? Do I need another JSP file to handle this
request or same file(searchCriteria.jsp) can do this?

please help.

Thanks in advance.
Jason

use the request.setAttribute method to pass the search value to the
request stream before forwarding the request to your searchCriteria.jsp.
In searchCriteria.jsp use the request.getAttribute method to retrieve
the passed value (will be null if there is none).
