Geoff,
The null pointer exception will occur when you try to forward to a URL that
the servlet container can't resolve. Remember that you need to specify a
path that is relative to your current web application.

Richard

Does anyone have any experience implementing ServletExec with IIS5.0, I
currently have it set up and running and any servlets I create run fine,
with one exception:
When I create a servlet that uses "RequestDispatcher" to forward HTML form
data to another HTML page the servlet engine seems to fail. I receive the
following error when trying to reach the servlet:
Error. The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it
from fulfilling the request.

When I use "sendRedirect". It works fine. What I am trying to accomplish is
to build a servlet that will forward requests to other HTML pages and JSPs
depending on the hidden name value that gets passed. Anyone who has
experience with ServletExec and replies to this, I will describe the errors
in greater detail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Geoff
