thats an old story (see list archives). When it comes to sendRedirect, Orion
interprets "/" as denoting the current context root, whereas all other
servlet engines (including Tomcat, the J2EE reference impl) interpret it as
the server document root. When this issue was discussed a while ago, the
conclusion was that, even though the J2EE spec seems to endorse "document
root", the orion way was conceptually cleaner, because it is consistent with
the way "/" is interpreted in other places. Of course, this leaves us with a
nasty compatibility problem. I see 2 choices:
a) dont use sendRedirect. Use RequestDispatcher.forward() instead
b) do something like this:
if(servletConfig.getServletContext().getServerInfo().startsWith("Orion"))
...
else
...
good luck..
