Page not found issue with 8.1 SP5

[Hamid Virani]

Hi All,

We had been using weblogic 8.1 SP4 for quite some time. Now we have upgraded to 8.1 SP5.

After upgrading, whenever request.sendRedirect() method is used, on some Internet explorer it shows page not found. when we refresh it again it shows proper page. This does not happen when requestdispatcher.forward() style is used.

This error is removed if on IE Tools->Advanced Option->Show HTTP friendly message is unchecked. But this cannot be solution, because each client has to be updated with this setting.

The thing is that this is not a problem with SP4.

Please let me know if someone has this kind of problem or know any solution.

Thanks.


Regards,
Hamid

One more thing that I discovered is when there was an redirect in SP4, only one GET request was sent by IE, but with SP5 IE has to send 2 GET request to the same resource(identical requests) to get Http 200 ok response. But sometimes IE only sends 1 GET request and that is when we get "page not found" error.

We are using NTLM Authentication filter. Is it possible that this is what is interfering? But, it did not gave any problems with 8.1 SP4
