RequestDispatcher.forward() problem

[Simon Senécal]

I need help. (I use Tomcat 4.1.18)

I'm in JSP1 in a webapp (Webapp1) and I use RequestDispatcher.forward(request, response) to forward in JSP2 located in another webapp (Webapp2). The two webapps are on the same server. The forwarding works, but once I'm in the JSP2 (in Webapp2), it looks like I'm still in the context of Webapp1, the URL of the request remains the URL of JSP1 in Webapp1. However, the servlet API documentation specifically says:

"For a RequestDispatcher obtained via getRequestDispatcher(), the ServletRequest object has its path elements and parameters adjusted to match the path of the target resource".

Here is a simplified part of the code I use in JSP1:

ServletContext contxt = getServletContext().getContext("/Webapp2");
RequestDispatcher disp = contxt.getRequestDispatcher("/JSPinWebapp2.jsp"); disp.forward(request, response);

Is this a bug, or is there something that I'm missing or not understanding about forwarding?
