response.sendRedirect problem

[Joseph Sweet]

server: tomcat 5.5.7

I have the following file (index.jsp) in the root of my_webapp

<% response.sendRedirect("login.jsp"); %>

when I access the my_webapp directory (without specifying any file), I am supposed to call undex.jsp, hence be redirected to login.jsp. Am I right???

However, I only get the following exception (please advise):


HTTP Status 404 - Servlet org.apache.jsp.index_jsp is not available

type Status report

message Servlet org.apache.jsp.index_jsp is not available

description The requested resource (Servlet org.apache.jsp.index_jsp is not available) is not available.

Where are you putting your JSPs?

[Joseph Sweet]

Just one level above the WEB-INF folder of my app. Other JSPs in the same place work okay.

[Sarath Mohan]

if the index.jsp is inside your web-app root directory, and if you access

http://localhost:8080/myapp/

it should work.


Also check out the welcome file list in the web.xml

Regard

[Joseph Sweet]

something does not work.

tomcat on local machine, when I access: http://localhost:8080/resumail/

gives me:

HTTP Status 500 -

when I access directly http://localhost:8080/resumail/index.jsp

it gives me:

Are you putting them in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT ?

The ROOT app that ships with Tomcat has pre-compiled JSPs that are explicitly mapped in web.xml.
You'll either need to remove the mappings or start your own app under webapps.

The 2nd is the better option.

[Yuriy Zilbergleyt]

Could it be something really simple, like a mistake in the filename?

-Yuriy

[Ivan Tamayo]

Try

sendRedirect("/index.jsp");

[Joseph Sweet]

I am still stuck... help...
I have the same problem on my local tomcat and on a remote tomcat server.

Yuriy Zilbergleyt - I don't think so.

Ivan Tamayo - didn't work.

Ben Souther - as I said it is in a new app (called resumail) under webapps.
Should I map JSPs in the web.xml ??? I thought only servlets should be mapped.
If they should be mapped, how do all the other JSPs work fine if they are in the same directory as the index.jsp, login.jsp

[Bear Bibeault]

You should not need to map JSPs in web.xml. It sounds like there may be a problem with the sturcture of your web app. Could you describe exactly how you've laid out the folders and files under your context root?

[Joseph Sweet]

webapps: the one that comes with tomcat.

then: webapps/resumail, this is my app directory.

inside webapps/resumail there are all the JSPs.

webapps/resumail/WEB-INF/classes is where all the classes are

basically most of the app is working.... the index.jsp does not...
