requestdispatcher rd = request.getrequestdispatcher("searchresults.jsp"); rd.forward(request, response); 

so tell me next step pagination search reslts..

in servlet, first getting value of ‘page’ parameter , storing in ‘page’ variable. wanted display 5 (5) records per page passing argument viewallemployees(offset, 5). storing 3 attributes in request scope , forwarding request jsp page;

servlet class:

public void doget(httpservletrequest request,  httpservletresponse response)  throws servletexception, ioexception {             int page = 1;             int recordsperpage = 5;             if(request.getparameter("page") != null)                 page = integer.parseint(request.getparameter("page"));             employeedao dao = new employeedao();             list<employee> list = dao.viewallemployees((page-1)*recordsperpage,                                      recordsperpage);             int noofrecords = dao.getnoofrecords();             int noofpages = (int) math.ceil(noofrecords * 1.0 / recordsperpage);             request.setattribute("employeelist", list);             request.setattribute("noofpages", noofpages);             request.setattribute("currentpage", page);             requestdispatcher view = request.getrequestdispatcher("employee.jsp");             view.forward(request, response);         }
