Close button in jsp page not working after response is redirected from servlet to jsp

I have a Submit button on my jsp(Welcome.jsp) page upon which I send the request to myservlet(Import Parts). I do some validation in servlet and upon failing on the validation I redirect user to the error.jsp page which give a suitable message. This error.jsp also has a close button which does not work after I forward the response to error.jsp.

If I directly launch the error.jsp in browser and try to click the close button, it works.

// Below is the piece of code written in my Servlet on doPost() method which perform some validation and upon failing the validation check redirects user to error.jsp page.



if(!UserDetails.checkValidUser(asession))  //a Validation method returning true or false

            {

                logger.info("User do not have necessary role");

                request.setAttribute("error", EMSImportConstants.NO_PRIVILEGE_USER_ERR_MESSAGE);

                RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/Error.jsp");

                rd.forward(request, response);

            }



//Below is my error.jsp page code



<% 

String path = request.getContextPath();

String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+path;

%>

If statement is not causing a problem here because the behavior remains same. In case I remove if, I will be redirected to my error.jsp page on which the close button still don't work. However if I directly run the error.jsp page and try to click on close button, it closes the browser window but the same button does not work when I forward from my servlet to this error.jsp.

In a form, to submit the details, the input type should be submit but not button. Change your code this way. It should work :)

<form>

  <td align="center"><input type="submit" value="Close" onclick="window.close();" /></td>

</form>
