I think you got the authors mixed up. I (Hans Bergsten) answered a question
from Henry Hooi Tak Keong about why he gets a 404 when using a RequestDispatcher
to include an HTML page.
Your suggestion to use a jsp extension instead of an html extension doesn't
work.
A 404 means "not found" and if the file is using an html extension, changing it
to jsp will not make a difference. The problem is more likely due to how the
relative URIs are interpreted, as I described in my original answer (still
included below).
