Servlet .forward not looking right in the URL

[JaeBrett]

When I do a RequestDispatcher.forward, it goes to the right page, but in the URL, it shows /servlet/login which is the path to my servlet. So I then have to change the paths of my images and everything else to reflect this. Know what I mean?

I want to use .forward but get back to the root of my context ... what can I do?

Only two ways that I know of:

1. In your JSP page, add <base href=&quot;

http://yourdomain/&quot;/>

2. Use sendRedirect instead of forward, but then you lost the current request scope to the target JSP after sendRedirect.

I think of a 3rd way:

3. change all your image paths or another other href in the JSP relatively two level up. i.e. <img src=&quot;../../images/yourimage.gif&quot;/>
