Why do we have two ways of creating a RequestDispatcher ? One through the request object and other through the servletcontext object. One syntax different that I understand is that the first accepts the relative path, while the later accepts absolute path. Aprt from this syntax difference , is there any logical difference between the two ways ?
The relative path cannot extend outside the current servlet context. To do so, you must use the getContext() method. It returns the absolute URL to the context requested.
