How To Access a JSP file from other JSP

The following is my webapplication directory structure.

C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\IS_Project
-WEB-INF
-JSP
home.jsp,search.jsp....
WEB-INF

I can access the search.jsp
http://localhost:8080/IS_Project/jsp/search.jsp like this

My home.jsp contains simple form data , in the form action i am calling search.jsp
I tried all these
<form action="search.jsp">,<form action="/jsp/search.jsp">, <form action="IS_Project/jsp/search.jsp">

For all these I am getting(depending on what I gave in the action)

HTTP Status 404 - /IS_Project/jsp/search.jsp

type Status report

message /IS_Project/jsp/search.jsp

description The requested resource (/IS_Project/jsp/search.jsp) is not available.

Apache Tomcat/4.1.18

I know I am missing some thing here ,please somebody help me in how to call the JSP file.Do I need to add anything in the web.xml?

I really appreciate anykind of help.

try this:



should work

If you want to get the web app name without hard coding it in (in case you ever monve thi to a web app that has a different name) you can use



That way if you hav a hundred files and you change the name of the web app to IT_Project, then you don't have to touch each page.

Thank You , i will try those two.
