Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

i have some problem in using request.getHeader(String)

In a servlet my i set a header.
The code is:

response.setHeader("Arun","Prasath");


RequestDispatcher rd=request.getRequestDispatcher("index.jsp");
rd.forward(request,response);


Then i forward it to a jsp page ie,index.jsp


In the index.jsp i get the following result:

String ss=(String)request.getHeader("Arun");
out.println(ss);

The result i get while print the String is null.I expect the header value
prasath to be printed.

So advance thanks for helping
