I guess your 3rd party product is using relative paths. If you can't change to
absolute paths, try to redirect with another program. This a bit of a messy
solution, but should work if you can change the file that the program redirects
to. You can create another servlet which simply does a redirect to your html file
using the Location header, and have your 3rd party program redirect to this
servlet.
