Interface PortletRequestDispatcher

public interface PortletRequestDispatcher
The PortletRequestDispatcher interface defines an object that receives requests from the client and sends them to the specified resources (such as a servlet, HTML file, or JSP file) on the server. The portlet container creates the PortletRequestDispatcher object, which is used as a wrapper around a server resource located at a particular path or given by a particular name.

      void include(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) throws PortletException, IOException
      Includes the content of a resource (servlet, JSP page, HTML file) in the response. In essence, this method enables programmatic server-side includes. The included servlet cannot set or change the response status code or set headers; any attempt to make a change is ignored.
      Parameters:
      request - a RenderRequest object that contains the client request
      response - a RenderResponse object that contains the render response
      Throws:
      PortletException - if the included resource throws a ServletException, or other exceptions that are not Runtime- or IOExceptions.
      IOException - if the included resource throws this exception
