I call Response.sendRedirect() from my servlet.
I'm sending the user back to the same servlet (the controller), so I use
Request.getRequestURI().toString().
Like so:
res.sendRedirect( req.getRequestURI().toString() + "?action=groups" );
On Tomcat 4 on NT the redirected URL looks correct:
"http://server/webapp/appname/Servlet?foo=bar";
On WebSphere 3.5 on OS/400 the redirected URL is wrong:
"http://server/webapp/appname/webapp/appname/Servlet?foo=bar";
In both containers, the value of req.getRequestURI().toString() is the same:
"/webapp/appname/Servlet" (perfect)
It seems that WebSphere is using "http://server/webapp/appname"; as the base
and is appending the request URI into it and producing the above result.
Tomcat is using "http://server"; as the base, so appending the request URI
produces the desired result.
My questions: Are both containers correct? Am I making an incorrect
assumption about what the base should be?
Any ideas?
I am considering workarounds like passing the entire URL (getRequestURL)
into the redirect instead of relative paths. I cannot use RequestDispather
in this situation.
