Hi Zsolt,
The jsp:forward tag makes an internal "function call" to the
servlet corresponding to the page you specify. Clearly, this
doesn't make sense for a different site.
Instead, use jsp:redirect (I might not have got that name
quite right, I use scriptlet code
<% request.sendRedirect("www.acme.com/coyote"); return; %>
instead of the jsp tag, but there should be an equivalent.
Cheers,
Simon
