Also, does anyone know if this is possible within the context of servlets / JSP?
As pointed out sendRedirect actually just sets a header in the response - as I then understand things this is then sent to the browser (the response with just the redirect header and nothing else) and the browser then calls approriate URL it has been redirected to. Now in order for senRedirect to work within the context of a <jsp:include> tag, the servlet / JSP container must be able to handle such redirects automatically - are they actually capable of this ? I suspect it would vary from container to container. Note that when writing servlets one is obliged to do such including by opening a URL connection and reading from it - in that case the programmer would have to read the response header and handle the redirect. > -----Original Message----- > From: Joseph Ottinger [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 20 May 2002 12:50 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: sendRedirect() from within a <jsp:include>? > > Gah!
