Send redirect to relative path in JSP?

Question

response.sendRedirect(\"../seja/izpisknjig.jsp\");

the file in which I execute this line is index.jsp. the directory structure looks like this.

Answer 1

You can use JSP taglib to do redirection.

Content of index.jsp file :

<jsp:forward page="../seja/izpisknjig.jsp" />

If project and seja are at root of your webapp context ( ie. http://host:port/context/project )

Content of index.jsp file :

<jsp:forward page="/seja/izpisknjig.jsp" />

Answer 2

Most reliable would be to create a domain-relative URL with the context path included.

response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/seja/izpisknjig.jsp");

Answer 3

You may be overthinking this. You could just pier some generate some javascript to redirect anywhere you like.

  document.location = "MyPage.php?action=DoThis";
