HTML onclick, session.setAttribute and jsp:forward

843836Jul 1 2004 — edited Jul 1 2004

Hi,

I've been trying to create a button/link that would forward to a new page with a few objects that I would like to pass along.

I have tried this:

<INPUT TYPE="IMG" SRC="next.gif" ONCLICK="session.setAttribute(\"attr1\",attr1); session.setAttribute(\"attr2\",attr2);<jsp:forward page='nextpage.jsp'>">

I manage to get the the next page, the nextpage.jsp being displayed in the browser addressbar, but I keep getting a NullPointer thrown back by Sun Applcation Server 8.

I have even tried using <%! %> to declare a method within the jsp to setAttributes, and tried using <FORM> tags with the action "submitform()" to no avail.

I need this done, as the intention is to have a column of buttons for a table, where a list is displayed. Upon clicking the button, the user will be provided with the details of the specific item.

Please help.
