forward to JSP does not work

Hi there,

I'm running tomcat inside JBoss. My front end servlet tries to forward a request to a JSP page. This page is located in the servlet's root directory (./deploy/handle.war/). Following error message apears:

[INFO,Default] JBoss-2.4.4 Started in 1m:50s.68
[INFO,Default] 05.04.2002 16:56:39:485; ERR; FipoFrontController; sess=644523F7F532372177344034F2C52384; service; failed
to forward request to jsp class; javax.servlet.ServletException: RequestDispatcher for '/template.jsp' is null (jsp nam
e was 'template.jsp')
javax.servlet.ServletException: RequestDispatcher for '/template.jsp' is null (jsp name was 'template.jsp')
at ch.postfinance.fw.web.ViewHelper.forward(ViewHelper.java:79)
at ch.postfinance.fw.FrontController.serviceViewUpdate(FrontController.java:195)
at ch.postfinance.fw.FrontController.service(FrontController.java:100)

Why does the RequestDispatcher not find the JSP?
Do I need to configure a JSP compiler servlet manually?
(*.jsp -> org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet)

Any comments are welcomed.

Kind regards...

If you run Tomcat 4.0 and you have multiple war files in your ear-file(e.g one war file with the servlet on another war file containing the jsp's), then you must enable the "crosscontes" in tomcat.
Search the forum for "crosscontext"
