Forward to a faces jsp page doesn't work via servlet
I get Null pointer exception when I am trying to forward to a faces jsp page from a servlet. In the servlet, I am using RequestDispatcher method
RequestDispatcher rd;
rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/Test.jsp");
rd.forward(req, res);
First I forwarded to a jsp page which had content in it from database and I thought it resulted in Nullpointer but now I created a fresh new faces jsp file Test.jsp, with just a small sentence in it and even then I get nullpointer exception.
Is it something to do with the web.xml?
Thanks for any help

Do you mean adding the foll. code in web.xml. I already did that. If there is anything else, can you please let me know
Thanks
<servlet>
<servlet-name>faces</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>faces</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I'll try to help here, maybe you can use:
ExternalContext externalContext = getFacesContext().getExternalContext();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) externalContext.getRequest();
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
String myUrl = externalContext.getRequestContextPath() + "/test.faces";
externalContext.redirect(myUrl);
