Hi Folks, I've posted this before and still haven't figured it out. Maybe you can help this time
I'm using Forte 4.0 and trying to mess with Model 2 jsp/servlet architecture I've got a file index.jsp in my top level directory index.jsp contains a link to a servlet "myServlet" the "myServlet" servlet is in WEB-INF/classes in myPackage the function in the servlet that handles the request executes this code javax.servlet.ServletContext sc; javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher rd; try { sc = getServletContext(); rd = sc.getRequestDispatcher("/foo.jsp"); rd.forward(request, response); } catch(Throwable theException) { } foo.jsp is in the top level directory with index.jsp and this all works correctly, when you click the link in index.jsp, foo.jsp is displayed. Now I put a link in foo.jsp to index.jsp <a href'"index.jsp">Back to Top<a> when I mouse over this link the address it points at is http://localhost:8081/servlet/index.jsp which is wrong. the address displayed in the location window at this point says http://localhost:8081/servlet/myPackage.myServlet The docs from Sun for RequestDispatcher.forward() say For a RequestDispatcher obtained via getRequestDispatcher(), the ServletRequest object has its path elements and parameters adjusted to match the path of the target resource. this sounds to me like when control was passed to foo.jsp, the path should have been set back to http://localhost:8081/ I kinda think the problem has something to do with a servlet mapping entry in web.xml, so far this is all being handled by Forte. When I try to read documentation on this stuff it's a tiny bit obtuse. Can somebody help me out here. The .war file is tiny so I attached it Dave
