Synopsis: 
BUG: in JSP, application.getRequestDispatcher always return null

Description:
Hi all experienced developer.


RequestDispatcher dispatcher = application.getRequestDispatcher("mypage.jsp");
if(dispatcher == null){
			out.println("<b> dispatcher is null </b><br>");
			return;
}
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

Above is an extract of my source file. According to my test,
l found that "getRequestDispatcher" always return null.
However, if l used below approach, the request was forwarded successfully. Is it a bug in Tomcat ?
				
pageContext.forward("mypage.jsp");
return;

If anyone know the solution, it is highly appreciated if you can send the answer to cwso7&@netscape.net & danny.so@gurubase.com
