RE: problems with sendRedirect() on relative path

[Phillip Gibb <ph...@prism.co.za>]

try using getContext() and getRequestDispatcher() and then include(req, res)

you can set a context in the server.xml to point to a directory where you
keep these static pages eg "staticPages" with the path set to
"c:\staticPages"

then using the
config.getContext("/staticPages").getRequestDispatcher().include 'or
forward' (request, response)

will forward to the or include the static page

this is not the same as redirect but it's just another suggestion that might
help

Subject: problems with sendRedirect() on relative path



 Hi 
 I am tring to use the HttpServletResponse sendRedirect() method to show a
static page but i can't use relative path  only static path (which include
the context).The problem occure because of the default '/servlet' prefix
which is used on tomcat conf\servel.xml.This  default prefix force that each
accses to servlet will contain the /servlet on the URI.
Does anyone know how to solve that ?
