RequestDispatcher Problem

[Dominique Chaniat]

I have a problem when I want use RequestDispatcher.

I work under Windows, with JSWDK 1.0, and I compile my code with JDK 2.0
and Servlet API 2.1.

When I try to run my code, I get 404 error, but I execute the followed
lines (requestDispatcher.forward(request, response);
System.out.println("Chaining done");). because the requestDispatcher is
not null. I have verified, the file index.html exists under the root
directory of the http server (http://localhost:8080/index.html is good).

Can you help me please.

Thank in advance.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class ServletChain2 extends HttpServlet {

  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws IOException, ServletException {
    System.out.println("Initializing servlet");

 //   RequestDispatcher requestDispatcher;
    RequestDispatcher requestDispatcher =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/index.html");

    if (requestDispatcher != null) {
      requestDispatcher.forward(request, response);
      System.out.println("Chaining done");
      }
      else {
      response.sendError(response.SC_NO_CONTENT);
      System.out.println("Chaining failed");
      }

  }
}
