Hi,
This is a generic architectural question. I am not sure if this can
be posted at this forum.
I am using JBOSS as App server and Iplanet as WebServer and Reverse
Proxy plugin to forward all the JSP requests from Iplanet to JBOSS.
Both Web Server and App server are on different boxes.
When I request a JSP page, its coming up fine. But if that JSP page
has a 'response.sendRedirect' in it, then its failing to redirect to
the specified page. Instead its going to the webserver root.
Also, this behaviour is not consistent - meaning, sometimes it goes
through and sometimes its coming back to webserver root.
Using 'response.forward' fixed the problem.
But I do not want to use 'forward' in the web application because of
the obvious diff between 'forward' and 'redirect'. (Using the forward
doesn't change the URL and upon browser refresh, the same form gets
submitted again and again)
Are there any alternatives to fix the redirect problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Sudheer
