Hi,
I think my problem was not clear. I am trying to get the RequestDispatcher()
by using the method
HttpServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher(String path). this method can not be
subsituted by the
ServletContext.getRequestDispathcer(String path) method because the path
required by SC is the full
path relative to the context, where as the path required by the
HttpServletRequest method is relative
to the present request.
So can look at my mail below and tell me why is the method not working.
regds,
Gokul
