Okay, from this detailed description---which sounds to me like it should work---here's my SWAG (silly wild-ass guess): After your response.sendRedirect() in the servlett, do you, um, well, include an explicit return statement?

OK, what I am trying to do is simple in theory. I have loaded in the browser an app - app1/. From a servlet in app1 I want to simply redirect to another app (app2 - different context) - to be loaded in the same browser window. By which means I forward I'm not fussed. Currently I am using RequestDispatcher or response.sendRedirect from a servlet in app1. But in the window, app2 appeqars to be loading in the address bar, but app1 is in fact loaded but with broken image links/error messages etc. So it appears to looking in the right place...just for the wrong things!

I have checked docBase for each context in server.xml - they are fine. Each app runs fine if loaded from new windows, but when I try to link the two together....trouble.

Any thoughts please? I am ready to throw in the towel!

It'd difficult from your poast to figure out what you're trying to accomplish. The phrase "forward control from one context to another" is quite ambiguous:

* Are you trying to create a response that includes output from resources from multiple contexts?

* While using one app, do you want to direct the user to pages in a different app?

* Are you talking client side or server side?

* Can you give us the scenario you're addressing? Often people ask questions that aren't phrased properly, so it's important to understand exactly what you're trying to do before going off and suggesting one of a hundred different possible answers.

BTW: I would suggest trying not to be "guilty" of stiring interest any more. It's not looked fondly upon by those who can most help you. Your previous post was not answered because it was ambiguous, so it'd be best to include copious information from the beginning (so you don't have to wait so long for a reply or cause subject pollution).

Both! The answer to my query may well lie in my ignorance and I was willing ot accept this, hence the subject title. But I am guilty of hoping it stired more of an interest than a previous post onthe same topic, with different subject (no replies)...and I still dont have the answer!

I guess it just shows how much perceptions can vary with Email.

I read your first paragraph and formed the impression that the subject
was designed to generate additional interest and to work to prioritize
your request for help.

Hi,

Now I have your attention, will someone tell me if it is
possible to forward control (either by JSP or Servlet) from one context
to another, in the same browser window? i.e:
