Re: Forwarding request error in iSeries/WebSphere.

Tried 3 things:

1. Use absolute url for target jsp file. This does not work.

2. Have servlet and jsp file in the same web application. (This does not
work and it should work!)

3. Use   Art's trick:  RequestDispatcher rd =
getServletContext().getContext("/webapp/mrcps").getRequestDispatcher("error.
jsp");

Approach 3 works!

Thanks!

Bruce
