SOLVED.
Thanks a lot.
To sum it all up :-
1. Have a JSP say index.jsp
2. Compile a decent servlet ,say Router.
3. The form tag shuld have
<form method="post" name=indexForm action="Router" >
4. The servlet will be found by server.xml and web.xml
server.xml entry is :-
<Context path="/osp" docBase="osp" debug="0" reloadable="true" />
web.xml entry is :-
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Router</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>osp.servlet.Router</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Router</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Router</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
5. The way it works is bottom up -- From the URL pattern to name to class
file.
Thats should be sufficient for jsp pages to talk to the Servlet. In my case
this is a Router servlet which will simply be a router in a MVC kind of
Appln. I am using the
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = context.getRequestDispatcher("<jsp name
here");
To go fwd after the processing by business objects.
In Coding Phase thanks to you all,
