You're not allowed to include or forward to pages that are part of
another application (think "security risks") using the JSP elements.
If the container allows it, you may be able to get hold of the servlet
context for the other application, and then get a RequestDispatcher for
the page in that application. You can then use the RequestDispatcher
to include/forward to the page. Something like this:
<%
ServletContext ctx = application.getServletContext("/otherapp");
RequestDispatcher rd = ctx.getRequestDispatcher("/foo.jsp");
rd.forward(request, response);
%>
But you may want to rethink the design. A web application is supposed
to be self contained, so this type of coupling between apps may cause
problems. Maybe all pages should actually be part of the same app
instead.
As an alternative to a forward, maybe a redirect to the other app is
more appropriate.
