Absolute URL in global-forward

["Libersan, Martin" <Ma...@microcell.ca>]

I have a problem using global-forward with an absolute URL.

  <!-- ========== Global Forward Definitions ============================== -->
  <global-forwards>
    <forward   name="logon"                path="/logon"/>
    <forward   name="simulation"           path="http://poseidon:6969/logon/index.jsp"/>
    <forward   name="index"                path="/index.html"/>
    <forward   name="installation"         path="/installation.html"/>
  </global-forwards>

When i rerefer to the global forward name simualtion i got this exception

Mon Mar 12 15:34:16 EST 2001:<E> <WebAppServletContext-dispatcher> Servlet failed with Exception
