Java servlet how to dump a static html page

Question

I want to dump a static html page from a servlet. With php I would do something like

$dbdiv = <<<XYZ
<div id="mystaticdiv"></div>
</div>;

Then echo the XYZ

Can this be done with Java servletsa?

Answer 1

Use RequestDispatcher#forward() or include() , depending on whether it represents full or partial HTML content.

request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/some.html").forward(request, response);

(note that the HTML page is hidden away in /WEB-INF to prevent direct access without invoking the servlet first)
