Having spent almost a day chasing this one, I've solved it
within 10 minutes of sending the e-mail. Typical.
For some reason the second of these lines :
<% String theStaticPage = "login.html"; %>
<jsp:forward page='<%= theStaticPage %>' />
needs double quotes rather than single quotes. So to get it
working I've used:
<jsp:forward page="<%= theStaticPage %>" />
Why should this make a difference when the hard-coded single
line:
<jsp:forward page='login.html' />
works just fine ??

Subject: jsp:forward .... Problems, problems
Hi All,
I'm having problems using JSP to forward simple requests to a
static HTML page ( as per the example on p.67 of the JSP 1.1 PR
Spec ).
My development environment is JDK 1.2.2, Orion 0.7.5b, Servlet
API 2.2 and JSP 1.1. Browser is IE 4.01
The following very simple JSP works fine
<jsp:forward page='login.html' />
but when I try to use a variable or a bean method to specify
the same static page
<% String theStaticPage = "login.html"; %>
<jsp:forward page='<%= theStaticPage %>' />
I get a blank browser page back. Looking at the source of the
blank page shows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
http-equiv=Content-Type>
</HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
Anybody know what's going on ???
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary Janes
