How to redirect to a jsp
Hi all,
this question seems simple, but I did not figure out how to answer it.
In my web.xml I have defined a default servlet. So it can handle
requests that does not match other servlets pattern.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>DefaultServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Then in my DefaultServlet, I want to redirect to a jsp page, so I use
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/jsp/index.jsp");
if(dispatcher != null){
dispatcher.forward(request,response);
}
But doing that, I reenter in my default servlet's doGet method.
What I want is rather simple, when a user connect to the site
http://server/myapp/, then the request is handled by the default servlet
and the jsp page is displayed
Thanks for your help
Regards
Romain

Tim's solution is the easiest, but allow me to explain why your application
is behaving that way.
By specifying the following
> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>

You are saying that all requests that come into your application are to be
forwarded to the servlet. Thus when you redirect to "/jsp/index.jsp" it is
taking back into the servlet. My guess is that you are trying to force
everyone to the /jsp/index.jsp" page no matter which "url" they use to get
to your application. I do not know of an easy way to do this. I like Tim's
solution and hopefully that will fulfill your needs.

If I am reading this correctly, an "easier" solution would be to create
an index.jsp at the root level that forwards to "/jsp/index.jsp"

Unless you explicitly map them otherwise, things like stylesheets and images
will typically get mapped to your DefaultServlet.
