I have a problem with the RequestDispatcher:

I have a page: http://localhost:8080/tool/portal/page1.jsp

In this page I have a form which gets posted to a servlet called serv1

This serv1 does some operations and executes the following code:

RequestDispatcher view = req.getRequestDispatcher("portal/page1.jsp"); view.forward(req, resp);

The problem now is that I get redirected to

http://localhost:8080/supporttool/serv1

rather then to:

http://localhost:8080/supporttool/portal/serv1

What am I doing wrong here?

Just try to forward your request to path "/"

It will give you idea how RequestDispatcher expecting path. Then provide URI of your jsp

For example on forwarding request on "/", you will be taken to root of webapp, if your jsp is inside WEB-INF directory, you have to specify your path like this

"/WEB-INF/pages/page.jsp"

If you are using IMAP protocol, this works well

inbox = (IMAPFolder) mailStore.getFolder("Inbox"); inbox.open(Folder.READ_WRITE); inbox.addMessageCountListener(new MessageCountAdapter() { @Override public void messagesAdded(MessageCountEvent ev) { System.out.println("Mail received"); try { storeMails(ev.getMessages()); } catch (MessagingException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }); new Thread() { @Override public void run() { while (true) { try { Thread.sleep(1000); try { inbox.idle(); } catch (MessagingException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } System.out.println("In loop"); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } }.start();
