[FIXED] How to remove a parameter from HttpServletRequest request?

Issue

In my web application I am sending two parameters: action and productCode from JSP to Servlet. Based on that action some processing will happen.

Now after action is performed I am forwarding control to a JSP. The problem is that when the new JSP is opened the URL still contains the name of Servlet and the Parameters. So in case if someone refreshes the page, the same action will be performed again and again.

If somehow I am able to remove the parameters from URL then I handled a no parameter situation in servlet.

Can anyone please tell me how can I remove the parameter from request object?

Solution

A forward operation is transparent to the client and forwards the request on to another handler for processing. Perhaps a forward is not exactly what you want to do.
