Also, if you're using an anchor tag that has "#" in it, then using 'onclick', change that to:
href=javascript: The "#" will cause the page to reload, and because it's a JSP, you might be invoking something you're not wanting to invoke. (like a login check). We had this exact problem when using mat kruse's calendar javascript (because I think his examples use #, but for us it was causing problems). > -----Original Message----- > From: Januski, Ken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 11:43 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: OT?:Can't include .js file on jsp page > controlled by front co ntro ller servlet > > > I've changed javascript source from 'src ="http:..."

And I'm not sure that the pattern has anything to do with problem. But I have a controller servlet through which all web requests must pass. It has worked fine as is. Until I tried to include a .js file on a jsp page. In that case it seems to either print it out to page, rather than execute it, or it tries to use requestDispatcher portion of controller servlet to forward/include it. Normally the requestDispatcher forwards request to the requested page after it checks to see if user is logged in. But now it seems to go into an infinite loop when forwarding. And I guess it's trying to use requestDispather.include because the .js resource is included via a "src='http:...' " request. I know that this is a very vague question but I wonder if anyone has any clues as to where the problem might lie or what I can start experimenting with. email protected and scanned by AdvascanTM - keeping email useful - www.advascan.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
