From Servlet to JSP

[Navi Singh]

Hi!! Good Folk's
need help again!.
I have a servlet which is invoked by a Html page.
The Html page send's data to servlet which confirms with the database and get's the data.
From here there is a simple welcome (JSP)page for the confirmed data logger's.
But i am not able to get the JSP page.
CODE IS:The Lower Part..
HttpSession userSession=req.getSession(true);
userSession.setAttribute("userName",ar);

RequestDispatcher rd=getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("http://localhost:8080/zz/jsp/welcome.jsp");
if (rd!=null)
{
rd.forward(req,res);
} }
catch(Exception e)
{
out.println("SQLException has occurred"+e.getMessage());
}}}
The Error :--- Displayed.
SQLException has Occurred
Path http://localhost:8080/zz/jsp/welcome.jsp does not start with a "/" character
--Thank's In advance.

Hi Parvin
Check out the API for getRequestDispatcher, which has the following comment regarding the resource path:

The pathname must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root. This method returns null if the ServletContext cannot return a RequestDispatcher

Try:
RequestDispatcher rd=getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/jsp/welcome.jsp");
Mark.

or try using request.getRequestDispatcher();
