RequestDispatcher and getServletContext() don't work when using init()

[Luke Vanderfluit <lu...@chipcity.com.au>]

Hi, 

I found that using the init() method to set up a database connection
then trying to instantiate a ServletContext object and forward to a jsp
page didn't work. 

If placed the database connection code in the doPost() then it DID,

The 2 code sets are attached,

can anyone tell me why?

thanks,
kind regards,
Luke

You must call super.init(...) in your init method.
