After looking at the archives and thumbing through some books, I'm afraid I
know the answer to this question but I'd like to ask it just to make sure.
Is there any way using relative pathing that I can forward to another
servlet or JSP that is on the same host but not in the same context as my
original servlet?
For example, within http://hostname/application/servlet/MyServlet I want to
use
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher( myPath ).forward( req, res
);
to forward to a login servlet that has the URL
http://hostname/login/servlet/LoginServlet. The ServletContext is
http://hostname/application, so is there any value that I can plug in for
myPath that will allow me to use forward to get to the LoginServlet? I
understand that I can use sendRedirect(), but prefer not to since I do not
want the URL displayed in the browser to change. Any suggestions as to how
I might address this?
Thanks,
Todd Murphy
