ooops, soory, when i reread my post, it seems like i'm in a bit of a friday
mood as well......
what i meant to say was.....
the servlet is accessed via:
http://localmachine:8080/EntryPointServlet
it forwards the request to a jsp page at:
/Web-content/start.jsp
in this page is a link to another page in the same
folder, but i want the request to go to the servlet, and then the servlet
forwards it to the appropriate page, which is:
/EntryPointServlet/Web-content/next.jsp
i can find the page directly using
/Web-content/start.jsp
but not via the servlet....
thanks for the reply dan - not quite a mind reader but given my initial
email, pretty good. any more advice gratefully receieved....
cheers, simon
