Does your original page initially re-direct to the servlet, or just attempt to access it as part of the original request?

If I am understanding this correctly, I have seen a similar type of problem...such as a request that requires extensive processing, where the browser session also does not limit it to a single request (ie the user hammers on the submit button) then the work might be completed by the initial request, but it will not be able to perform a re-direct as the browser session is only interacting with its most recent request... the most recent request can re-direct, but not any of the previous requests (from the same form).

To solve this I basically had to write some synchronized code (within turbine)... allowing some initial request to perform the work, while at the same time allowing subsequent requests (to the same action and code) to recognize that the work was already complete and attempt to take the appropriate action... such as re-directing to an appropriate form.

(Yes I know how to solve this within the browser using Javascript, but in this instance it was not an
option)

The interesting thing about this is that all of the requests ARE able to display console output, but only the last request can re-direct...

You should be able to re-direct from any context to any other context... you will probably lose the session, but you should be able to re-direct...

Try re-directing within the same context... just to see if the re-direct itself works.

You can also implement a security model (of your own making) that automatically re-establishes the original session (obviously make it secure in some fashion). Then when you re-direct from the servlet you can just assume that the original session is expired... re-direct to an intermediate form (in all cases) and allow that form to re-direct to the login page, or to another page that displays the information... etc.

I have also taken this approach when accessing external resources where I have no control over the timeout of the external resources, or the user's behaviour, etc).

best of luck

I have a screen (lets call it page X) where I do an ajax call that populates a

the table (search data for instance) I would like to redirect the request to 
the Login page.

The ajax call calls the Data.json servlet that is not in the same servlet 
context as my Login page (which is localhost/servlet/myapp), therefore I cannot 
use servlet forward (I am using JBoss 4.2 and I can only forward in the same 
servletcontext).

I have tried to redirect with sendRedirect, which is able to call the Login 
page that is actually executed but not displayed. And this is where I got lost. 
My Login page is executed and I still see page X. I have tried to write the 
returned HTML (from Login page) into the response of page X. The HTML page is 
actually returned, but not displayed.

How can I redirect from the servlet so that the redirected page is displayed?

Thanks,
