Changes:
description changed from According to the J2EE v1.3 API documentation on
ServletContext, the
getRequestDispatcher(String path) method returns null if the ServletContext
cannot return a RequestDispatcher.
The AbstractServletContextWrapper.getRequestDispatcher() returns the
RequestDispatcherWrapper regardless of whether an actual RequestDispatcher
could be located. So, if the RequestDispatcher was not found the following will
cause a null pointer expception to be thrown at the forward():
// assume the URLpath to not exist within the current Servlet Context.
reqDispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(someURLPath);
if (reqDispatcher != null)
{
reqDispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
else
{
response.sendRedirect(someURLPath);
}
As a result, I have to disable the portion of my test that executes this code
with external URL's. to According to the J2EE v1.3 API documentation on
