JBoss3.0, getting form action to work in JSP

[mlapolla]

I can easily do

<jsp:forward page="/servlet/servletController">
</jsp:forward>

but I cannot get



to work at all. I basically get a "Mapping configuration error for request URI" in JBoss. How can I get this to work? Thanks.

Is your web application deployed under the root (i.e. / ) context, or under a named context?

This sounds like you have your app deployed under some named context, with nothing deployed under the root context. I believe this is the same error message that you get if you start up JBoss, and try to access the web server (http://localhost:8080) without having any applications deployed.

If your app is deployed under a named context (e.g. /foo ), then the action you defined for the form will not work - it would need to include the context name:

If you use this, then the context path under which your application is deployed doesn't matter:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/servlet/servletController">

Thanks for that - I was wondering how to dynamically determine the context name!
