How to Forward a request to another Servlet

[Vishnu Prakash]

I am specifying the full path to the target servlet class "Test" from another servlet class.

 
RequestDispatcher dispatch = request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/classes/com/example/posr/Test"); 

But I am getting Http 404 error stating The requested resource (/content-type-ex/WEB-INF/classes/com/example/posr/Test) is not available.

Whats wrong with this?

You need to specify the servlet mapping in the argument of getRequestDispatcher.

Thanks

Its actually the <url-pattern> element value of the <servlet-mapping> that has to be specified as argument to getRequestDispatcher(String path) method.

Yes, to be exact it is the url-pattern of the servlet mapping. Did that fix your problem?
