Auto Fill with redirect

[starheartbeam]

I have this registration.jsp form and when you hit submit it goes to a newaccount.java page to check and make sure the id you put in is in the database. If it is it does some other stuff and that part works.

If it is not in the database I need to redirect back to the registration.jsp page showing an error message that the id entered was wrong but I also want it to not delete all the other information that the people put on the page. (I know I hate when I have to type anything back in again)

I am just not sure how to do this. Can anyone help me or point me in the right path?

Thanks!

this would probably be easiest using a session scoped bean, and making the form's values the values of that bean. Take a look at examples using the "<jsp:useBean>" tag.
