Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I am in a project which need a JSP script to get the header information from a URL (redirect) - the status code and the redirect location. I used following to simulate the situation.

script 1: test1.jsp
<%-- distination page --%>
<%
out.println("You have been redirected to this page");
%>

script 2: test2.jsp
<%-- this page redirect the client request to the test1.jsp when called. --%>
<%
String redirection = "http://127.0.0.1/test/test1.jsp";
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
response.setHeader("Location", redirection);
response.setStatus(303);
%>

script 3: test3.jsp
<%-- this page suppose to capture the status code that specified at test2.jsp --%>
<%@ page import="java.net.*" %>
<%
try {
URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1/test/test2.jsp");
out.println(url.toString());
HttpURLConnection hurlc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
out.println("<br>" + hurlc.getResponseCode());
out.println("<br>" + hurlc.getResponseMessage());
int i = 0;
while(hurlc.getHeaderField(i) != null) {
out.println("<br>" + hurlc.getHeaderFieldKey(i) + ": " + hurlc.getHeaderField(i));
i++;
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
out.println("<br>" + e.toString());
}
%>


************************
the test3.jsp suppose to get the code 303 but it actually got code 200. following are the results:


http://127.0.0.1/test/test2.jsp
200
OK
null: HTTP/1.0 200 OK

**SOME ONE COULD HELP ME? I need to get the redirect "Location" url in the response header as test2.jsp put in there.

Thanks a lot!
