Possible bug in RequestDispatcher?

[Ryan Hoegg]

Hi,

Before I post a bug report, I wanted to run a peculiar situation by the experts.

I am creating some filters that verify that certain variables are in the session before allowing access to any page in my site. There are currently two of them, and each forward the request to a form if a particular session variable is not set and if this is not the form submission. They are using ((HttpServletRequest) request).getRequestDispatcher("/path/to/form1.html").forward(request, response) to accomplish this.

Something is broken, and if it's in my code I am missing it. I have these filters mapped to /* and here is the peculiar behavior:
1. If I point my browser at "/", I get the desired HTML page.
2. If I point at a servlet I have mapped, I get what looks like an HTML template page.
3. If I point at a static HTML file I have in the "/" I get a good chunk of the beginning of the HTML page and that's it.

My web.xml is simpler than simple, I described it above except for the single servlet mapping. ("/Display")

I appreciate any insights you can provide!
