Redirect problem in tomcat server

[rahuldk11]

Hello everybody

I am using JBoss-2.4.3_Tomcat-3.2.3.
I am using embedded tomcat.
when i am using response.sendRedirect() or <jsp:forward>, the requested jsp is not showing. it is displaying blank page.
But same thing works in weblogic.
I want to know, if there are some specific settings in tomcat

Regards
Rahul

I'm using the same setup. Can you please provide some more information - eg your directory structure for you webapp etc. Just use fake names if you don't want to give it all away.

Paul,

I'm having a similar problem.
If I execute s servlet with a servlet name Test - http://localhost:5678/Test and I have response.sendRedirect("?page=value"); the server returns error 500 and the URL looks like this: http://localhost:5678/?page=value.

If I manually add Test - http://localhost:5678/Test?page=value the page loads fine. One of the solutions was to add request.getRequestsURI() in sendRedirect. It worked but need to do that without changing the code, probably it is a configurations issue with Tomcat that I don't know how to resolve.

The application works ok with iPlanet using Servlet Virtual Path Translation - mapping @.*html to Test. That is somting that I don't know how to do in Tomcat. I tried

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>@.*html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

but it didn't work for me.

Any help will be appreciated.
