RequestDispatcher operates within a given ServletContext (web application).
You are trying to do a cross-context dispatch - i.e. to another web
application. To do this you will need to:
- enable cross-context dispatch for the /plugins web application
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/context.html
look for crossContext
- then use code something like this:
ServletContext current = request.getServletContext();
ServletContext backend = current.getContext("/backend");
RequestDispatcher rd = backend.getRequestDispatcher("/rest/abc/xx");
rd.forward(request,response);
Progress of sorts! The request is now returning 302 instead of 404!
Looking in the log files for the backend, it has a message that says
“Robot requests must be rejected” and the 302 response is due to a
redirect to a permission denied page.
My understanding was the .forward() method didn’t change anything on
route in either direction.
