    copied!<p>So, I'm currently trying to learn some JSP, and I can't figure out how to get around this problem I'm having.</p> <p>Currently, I have an index.jsp page with several forms. For one form, it has two text fields that it sends to a servlet, test.java, in order to build a string. After building the string, the servlet then redirects back to index.jsp</p> <p>Original index.jsp address: <code>http://localhost:8080/TestJSPConversion/</code></p> <p>After the redirect, the address is <code>http://localhost:8080/TestJSPConversion/test</code></p> <p>The problem comes up when I try to use another form on index.jsp, it then takes me to a blank page at the address, <code>http://localhost:8080/TestJSPConversion/test?author=Peter+Johnson</code></p> <p>I believe it's due to the method I'm using to redirect from the servlet (request.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp").forward(request, response); but, I'm not too sure how to fix this issue. I would like to get the form to work even after the servlet redirects back to index.jsp.</p> <p>Servlet Code:</p> <pre><code>protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { // TODO Auto-generated method stub // Get parameters from the request. String name = request.getParameter("name"); String email = request.getParameter("email"); String message = null; GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(); if (calendar.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM) { message = "Good Morning, "; } else { message = "Good Afternoon, "; } message += name + " with the email, " + email; request.setAttribute("message", message); request.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp").forward(request, response); } </code></pre> <p>Index.jsp Code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;h2&gt;Choose authors:&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;form method="get"&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" name="author" value="Tan Ah Teck"&gt;Tan &lt;input type="checkbox" name="author" value="Mohd Ali"&gt;Ali &lt;input type="checkbox" name="author" value="Kumar"&gt;Kumar &lt;input type="checkbox" name="author" value="Peter Johnson"&gt;Peter &lt;input type="submit" value="Query"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;c:set var="authorName" value="${param.author}" /&gt; &lt;/br&gt; &lt;c:if test="${not empty authorName}"&gt; &lt;c:out value="${authorName}" /&gt; &lt;/c:if&gt; &lt;/br&gt; &lt;form action="test" method="POST"&gt; First Name: &lt;input type="text" name="name" size="20"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Surname: &lt;input type="text" name="email" size="20"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;c:out value="${message}" /&gt; </code></pre>
