Just found something in the API docs that might be of help:
getRequestDispatcher
public RequestDispatcher getRequestDispatcher(java.lang.String path)
Returns a RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the resource located at
the given path. A RequestDispatcher object can
be used to forward a request to the resource or to include the resource in a response.
The resource can be dynamic or static.
The pathname must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current
context root. Use getContext to obtain a
RequestDispatcher for resources in foreign contexts. This method returns null if the
ServletContext cannot return a
RequestDispatcher.
Parameters:
path - a String specifying the pathname to the resource
Returns:
a RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the resource at the specified
path
