Chuck,
Thank you again for your help. Since I'm new at this, please forgive me if
my questions seem elementary. The following code now works:
ServletContext appContext = getServletContext().getContext( "/dev" );
if ( appContext != null )
{
RequestDispatcher rd = appContext.getRequestDispatcher(
"/jsp/index.jsp" );
rd.forward( request, response );
}
If I understand the above correctly, the ServletContext sets the new
<Context> to /dev and the RequestDispatcher appends "/jsp/index.jsp" to the
new path. The complete path should be /dev/jsp/index.jsp. Correct?
Unfortunately, I get a blank page in my browser and the page properties show
/filter/jsp/index.jsp which is the original <Context> path. Am I still
doing something wrong? I've been reading the Servlet API, but I don't
understand how the pathing resolves. I also removed the crossContext="true"
from the new target <Context>.
If I change the following to:
RequestDispatcher rd = appContext.getRequestDispatcher( "/dev/jsp/index.jsp"
);
the browser trys to render /dev/dev/jsp/index.jsp.
Thanks for your patience,
Brandon
