how to bring back form values if validation fails?
I am posting my standart jsp form to a servlet for validation...if validation fails request.getDispatcher runs and forward the page to the previous form page...
Now here is the problem;
When page forwarded to previous my form values are lost...and this is very user unfriendly...
how am i going to bring them back?
thank you

Dear Friend,
I have two Suggestions:
1: You u can't validate using JavaScript on the Client side ?
2: On the Page Dispatcher store all the values in sessions / cookiees.
One Condition: On the Previous page (user entry page) Fetch the values from Cookie / sessions and place them appropriately,
On the first time page load their will not be any values in the sessions / cookies Check if their were null then leave empty on these fields.
Did u got the answer ?

yes its a way of doing that...but i asked if there is an easy way to do it like with a form option...still asking if any expert knows about it?
javascript will handle most of the error messages but server side must have the same options in a pro. application.
thanks anyway i will store them somewhere in hashmap or cookie...;)
