Thanks for the replies, I knew that the forward did an
internal redirect, I was just confused as to why
Weblogic was doing it one way and Tomcat another.
So the next question is :
what is the easiest way to do something like a
response.sendRedirect() and still keep the request
object intact?
Thanks,
Quenten
