here are couple of ideas:
1. according to the 2.1 api request.setAttribute takes a string and an
object. you are passing in two strings. certainly string is derived from
object, but that may be the problem. try assigning that string value to a
variable (maybe try casting it to object) and pass that in.
2. getRequestDispatcher seems to be a 2.2 method only. i can find it in
the 2.2 api but not in 2.1. i believe you said that you are using jsdk2.1,
so that may be your problem on that one.
maybe someone who knows more than i could give you better help. this,
however, is where i would start. btw, i certainly applaud the goal of your
project ;-)
