Yes I've been doing some googling and RTFMing as you advised ;) (well
I was doing that anyway) but I must admit despite reading the API and
a couple sites found on google so far it's still not clear how use of
this method can help with maintaining context root. I may well be
missing something.
My main points have to do with keeping the request and avoiding the round trip
to the client.
HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() tells us that, "[i]f the location is
relative without a leading '/' the container interprets it as relative to the
current request URI. If the location is relative with a leading '/' the
container interprets it as relative to the servlet container root."
The leading '/' moves the redirect out of the context. I'm thinking that the
"current request URI" includes not only the application context root but the
specific resource handling the request. You might need to prefix the redirect
URL with "../".
However, I will say that most of what people want to do with a redirect is
better handled by the forward mechanism.
