Use res.sendRedirect or link to open a html file from servlet?

[Θεόδωρος Κυριμαλής]

Hi,

I'm trying to open a simple .html file from a servlet that is running on JWS. I'm using this piece if code:

        res.sendRedirect("http://localhost:8080/mydirectory/Welcome.html");

but I get a Not Found (404) error from the browser, even if there is the folowing path on the disk:    JavaWebServer1.1.3\mydirectory\Welcome.html

Do I have to place    mydirectory\Welcome.html elsewhere relative to the JavaWebServer1.1.3 directory?

 

I have the same problem when I use this piece of code as well:

      out.println("<HR><A HREF=../mydirectory/Welcome.html>Go Home</A><HR>");

When I click to the link I get the same error.
