Hi, (I work on Tomcat 5.0.30). When my servlet (http://myVhost/proxy/testProxy) forward to another servlet : try { ServletContext ctx = getServletContext(); ctx = ctx.getContext("/myNewContext"); RequestDispatcher dispatcher = ctx.getRequestDispatcher("/myNewServlet"); dispatcher.forward(request, response); } catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
(in server.xml, in the Context /proxy of myVhost, I put crossContext="true") If the Context /myNewContext is deployed in myVhost, the HTTPresponse is : HTTP/1.1 200 OK ... response of myNewServlet If the Context /myNewContext is not deployed, the HTTPresponse is : HTTP/1.1 404 /myNewServlet :-( 1) In other servlets containers, I read that ctx.getRequestDispatcher(...) returns null if the resource is absent. So, Why Tomcat reacts differently ? Is it a bug ? 2) In my case, I'd want to forward to myNewServlet if it is present, BUT, if it is absent, I'd want to call another url distant (with httpclient)... How can I do this with Tomcat ? Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
