Forward request from servlet to jsp
Question
I have a small application (HTML form, servlet as controller and jsp files) and i try to figure out why i cannot to forward the request from servlet to jsp files.
the problem is after submit from html, showed up "HTTP Status 404"
Application flow:
- submit from html.
- controller get the name from html.
- controller supposed to move the request to jsp files.
thanks!

controller.java:

String path = request.getParameter("type");
if(path.equals("electrics"))
{
request.setAttribute("timestamp", new Date());
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/view/electrics.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
else if(path.equals("hotels"))
{
request.setAttribute("timestamp", new Date());
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/view/hotels.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
else if(path.equals("restaurants"))
{
request.setAttribute("timestamp", new Date());
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/view/restaurants.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
}

Object ob = request.getAttribute("timestamp");
out.println(ob);

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Controller</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Controller</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
update: Probably the problem is in the controller.java. When i try the following code, i got HTTP Status 500. protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.write(request.getPathInfo());
}

Your code is running fine in my local with the web.xml defined at the end with welcome list or even without it. Try your code running with the dynamic Web content version 2.5 where the web.xml is generated automatically.
