Hi all,
I reduced my JSP to contain just the following line ( I even did some DOS to Unix
conversions using Notespad, a text editor, to remove all
carriage returns)
<%getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/html/authhome.html").forward(request,response);%>
Yet the generated JSP contains the following lines:
--------------------- begin partial quote
-----------------------------------------------------------
application = pageContext.getServletContext();
config = pageContext.getServletConfig();
session = pageContext.getSession();
out = pageContext.getOut();
// begin [file="/notauthorized.jsp";from=(0,2);to=(0,92)]
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/html/authhome.html").forward(request,response);
// end
// HTML // begin [file="/notauthorized.jsp";from=(0,94);to=(1,0)]
out.write("\r\n");
// end
----------------------------------- end partial quote ------------------
