That's a REALLY good point. The JSP can be thought of as simply bieing a
view with all (or most) of the heavy lifting done elsewhere. Within the
limited context of handling errors, I think that your point would be
compelling. However, I can think of many other uses one could make of a
capability to forward from a JSP. I'm sure that there are even more uses
that haven't occurred to me. It would just be a real nice capability to
have available. Accordingly, I would like to play around with it a bit.
I've learned a lot from what I have done so far; and, if nothing else I'm
sure the exercise wiill provide a great learning experience.
I'm sure that I'll be running into difficulty and posting. However, I think
that the issue that I have raised in this thread has been solved. If (more
like when) I have other problems I will post in a new thread. Thanks to all
for all of the great help that I received in this thread.
