How to forward a page from servlet to jsp
I've been trying to display a page from servlet transfer to jsp page.
here is my code.
String address = "http//localhost/WebApp/TestParam/final.jsp";
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
ServletContext sc = session.getServletContext();
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = sc.getRequestDispatcher(address);
dispatcher.forward(request,response);
I can't get to final.jsp page. It shows that request no found.
Please help to give solution on this.

Most likely you misunderstood the purpose of requestDispatcher.
Read the first sentence of the API: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.3/javadoc/javax/servlet/RequestDispatcher.html
Defines an object that receives requests from the client and sends them to any resource (such as a servlet, HTML file, or JSP file) on the server
This means that you have to define the "address" pointing to a resource on the same server. For example this uri: "/WebApp/TestParam/final.jsp".
If you want to redirect to external resources, then indeed use HttpServletResponse#sendRedirect() with a http:// uri.
