Hi Supriya, welcome to javaranch.

I think this statement in the navbar.jsp is causing the problem

<a href ="webdoc/admin/logout.jsp">Logout </a>

change it with this

<a href ="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/webdoc/admin/logout.jsp">Logout </a>

hi ankit garg it solved my problem.ithink i need to know hoe request.getcontextpath works exactly.

look Supriya, the solution that I gave is partially right. We should not use scriptlets in JSP pages. But I'm not good at EL and JSTL that's why I gave you a quick solution. But I think the correct solution is to use JSTL url tag or something else but frankly I don't know myself...

Well Ankit

. in EL ${pageContext.request.contextPath} .
