"LoginFailed.html" 2. "/LoginFailed.html" 3. "/rtx/LoginFailed.html" these combinations have show to be successfull a-1 (sendRedirect with LoginFailed.html) a-3 (sendRedirect with /rtx/LoginFailed.html) b-2 (include with /LoginFailed.html) c-2 (forward with /LoginFailed.html) all other combinations are not working. If you read the documentation for the getRequestDispatcher it says ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher "The pathname specified may be relative, although it cannot extend outside the current servlet context. If the path begins with a "/" it is interpreted as relative to the current context root. This method returns null if the servlet container cannot return a RequestDispatcher" but it turns out that Tomcat doesn't support strings that don't start with "/". and this is a BUG!Title: BugRat Report # 815
