Not so. From the documentation for the HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect
method:
"This method can accept relative URLs; the servlet container will
convert the relative URL to an absolute URL before sending the response
to the client."
It's not just a question of it says so in the docs either. It works.
(Personally speaking, I know it works with JRun and Tomcat.) There's a
possibility that this was not always the case, as there's a similar
comment about absolute URLs is in the Hunter book.
