Stacia,
I feel sure that the problem is the slash at the end of your jsp:forward tag. The
<jsp:forward /> syntax is used when the element has no contents, so there is no
need for a closing tag. The <jsp:forward></jsp:forward> syntax is used when there
is a content (ie. param tags) to the element. Note that this holds for all the
other JSP tags as well.
In other words, your example should read as follows:
<jsp:forward page="/nullresults.jsp"/>
<jsp:forward page="nullresults.jsp">
<jsp:param name="exactArtist"
value= "<%=java.net.URLEncoder.encode(exactArtist))%>"/>
</jsp:forward>
Yours, JonTom
