Hi, what is the equivalent of Java request in Coldfusion?
Take for example, in java I'd have a doGet that has a request and response object. Then I can do:
request.setAttribute("name", "John");
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("login.cfm");
rd.foward(request, response);

What is the Coldfusion equivalent of this? I've looked at some Coldfusion docs but I don't seem to understand it too well

Thanks so much,
C

the request scope is what you want, although it's not an object...it's just
another variable scope. so you treat it like a structure, like so:

request.name = "john";

are you looking just for request scope, or are you looking for how to do
page forwarding also?

currentPage.cfm
===============
<cfset request.name="John">
<cfset getPageContext().forward("login.cfm")>

login.cfm
========
Name in request scope = <cfoutput>#request.name#</cfoutput>

Hi Marc E and BKBK, thank you so much for your replies!

Marc, I'm looking for both request scope, and how to do
page forwarding also.

BKBK, I'm going to try this out, thanks so much for sample code.

Thanks again,
C
