Hi

I have two pages,page1.jsp and page2.jsp.If a user is in page2.jsp and then tries to access page1.jsp,i need to check for the value of a session variable. If the session variable value is x then he can view page1.jsp,else the user should be redirected to page2.jsp i.e,he should stay in the same page.

How can i achieve this?

I tried to call a javascript function in the onLoad of the <form> and in thar function i checked for the session variable and based on it, i did request.sendRedirect()

But this did not work

Thanks in advance

You don't need a javascript to do that.
1. First you get the value from the session: X = session.getAttribute('variableName' , enteredValue);
2. if X == x response.sendRedirect("page1.jsp");
else response.sendRedirect("page2.jsp");

Hope this helps.

Hi Melongo

This piece of code should be placed in <head></head> or <form></form>

I placed it in <head><script></script></head> but did not work.

Thanks
