So it looks like I'm wrong and there may in fact be a bug in Tomcat.
Servlet 3.0 has this to say about "forward" in section 9.4:
"
The path elements of the request object exposed to the target servlet
must reflect the path used to obtain the RequestDispatcher.
"
Your forward() code looks like this:
> RequestDispatcher rd = application.getRequestDispatcher("/");
> rd.forward(request, response);
So the path used to obtain the RequestDispatcher is "/" and URLs built
should be relative to that.
Are you using Tomcat's provided JSTL, or do you bundle one with your
own webapp?
Can you post a copy of the .java source generated from your JSP that
contains the <c:redirect>?
