thank you for your response, Paul... this is actually inside a struts
tile.. entire code for the tile is (directives omitted):
===========================
<%
String theSponsor = "";
%>
<table><tr><td><img src="..."></td></tr><tr><td>
<%
theSponsor = request.getParameter("sponsor");
if (theSponsor.equals("") || theSponsor == null) {
response.sendRedirect("/ws/sponsors/index.jsp");
%>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
alert("param has no value");
</script>
<%-- <jsp:forward page="/ws/sponsors/index.jsp" > --%>
<%
return;
} else if (!theSponsor.equals("") || theSponsor != null) {
%>
<%-- CUSTOM TAG (to include param in question..) HERE... --%>
<% } %>
</td></tr></table>
===========================
thank you very much..

I have a response.sendRedirect() in a JSP, to be triggered if a param
passed in request evaluates to "" or null.. however, sendRedirect is
being ignored; also tried <jsp:forward..>, is also ignored.. would
appreciate some help.. thank you.. code is as follows:
<%
theSponsor = request.getParameter("sponsor");
if (theSponsor.equals("") || theSponsor == null) {
%>
// following test alert triggers fine, the rest is ignored..
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
alert("test");
</script>
<%
// following ignored...
response.sendRedirect("/ws/sponsors/index.jsp");
%>
<%-- // following also ignored..
<jsp:forward page="/ws/sponsors/index.jsp" > --%>
<%
return;
} else if (!theSponsor.equals("") || theSponsor != null) {
%>
<%-- code for a custom tag here, using "theSponsor" var as one of
the parameters inside the tag... --%>
<% } %>
thank you very much...
