Hi,
I just would like to get a reference to the ServletContext of another web application
as the current one, to get a RequestDispatcher object.
I know that the path should begin with / and that it is interpreted relative to the
server's document root .
So i'm in a web application context and would like to get the context of
c:\tomcat\webapps\tutobean application.
I've written the following code:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse rep)
throws ServletException, IOException {
ServletContext currentSC = getServletContext(); //reference to the current
ServletContext
ServletContext distantSC = currentSC.getContext("/tutobean"); //reference to the
ServletContext of tutobean webappl, corresponding to http://localhost:8080/tutobean.
distantSC.getRequestDispatcher("/index.html").forward(req,rep); //NullPOinterException
here because distantSC is null!!!
What's wrong in my code?
Thanks for your response,
Regards,
Cyril.
