Howdy all. I got this nitpick back a few days ago:
Rather than going directly to the jsp, you should make all your access to jsp pages pass through the servlet. Your URL should look something like this:
/videos/servlet/VideoServlet?action=addvideo
OK. I've tried this and can't get it to work. Perhaps because I don't fully understand what it's doing, maybe (I don't remember reading much about it in Head First Servlets & JSP). But anyway, all it does when I write the URL like that is to reload the listvideos.jsp page (which is where this link is written). I can't seem to get it to load the addvideo.jsp page no matter how I write the URL (I've tried .../VideoServlet?action=addvideo.jsp, .../VideoServlet?action=addvideo, .../VideoServlet?forward=addvideo.jsp, etc.).
Any suggestions, help, advise, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Do you have an "action" in your servlet that matches the "action" in the url? Otherwise, the servlet will do the "default" action.

Man, that was a tough one (for me anyways). Had to dig a little bit but learned several things I didn't know and had just taken for granted. Thanks!
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
