Answer 1

If you want to restrict the flow to ensure that test1 comes before test2, have test1 put an attribute value in the session that says it's been visited, and test for that attribute value in test2. If the value is not there, have test2 redirect to test1.

In test1, do this:

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("test1",true);

Then, in test2, you can do this:

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
if (session.getAttribute("test1") == null){
    response.sendRedirect("test1");
    return;
}
