Transferring data from servlet to jsp page

Question

I would like to get rid of the printWriter code in the servlet.

Basically I want to output the current customers and their respective cities with the id which is a hidden field on the index page. From there I would like to be able to edit the customer name or city and then have it sent back to the index page where the information would be updated.

How do I do this?

Better late than never.

Ok, to get this working you should add jstl library to your project.

Servlet

 @WebServlet(name = "CustomerServlet", urlPatterns = {
        "/customer", "/editCustomer", "/updateCustomer"
})
public class CustomerServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -20L;

    private List<Customer> customers = new ArrayList<Customer>();

    @Override
    public void init() throws ServletException {
        Customer customer1 = new Customer();
        ...
        customers.add(customer1);

        Customer customer2 = new Customer();
        ...
        customers.add(customer2);
    }

    private Customer getCustomer(Integer customerId){
        for (Customer customer : customers) {
            if(customer.getId() == customerId){
                return customer;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }


    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        String uri = request.getRequestURI();
        if(uri.endsWith("/customer")){

            request.setAttribute("customers", customers);
            request.getRequestDispatcher("/customers.jsp").forward(request, response);

        }else if(uri.endsWith("/editCustomer")){

            try{
                customerId = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("id"));
            }catch(NumberFormatException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            Customer customer = getCustomer(customerId);

            request.setAttribute("customer", customer);
            request.getRequestDispatcher("/edit_customer.jsp").forward(request, response);

        }
    }

    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

        Integer customerId = 0;
        try{
            customerId = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("id"));
        }catch(NumberFormatException e){

        }
        Customer customer = getCustomer(customerId);
        if(customer != null){
            customer.setName(request.getParameter("name"));
            customer.setCity(request.getParameter("city"));
        }
        response.sendRedirect("/customer");
    }

}

customers.jsp

<%@page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" session="false" %>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

<h1>Customer list</h1>

<ul>
<c:forEach var="c" items="${customers}">
    <li>${c.name} (<a href="editCustomer?id=${c.id}">Edit</a>)</li>
</c:forEach>
</ul>

edit_customer.jsp

<%@page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" session="false" %>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

<h1>Edit customer</h1>

<form method="POST" action="/updateCustomer">
