 <         


        

Answer 1

1. Check if it is going into the condition.
2. Check if the response is getting committed before forward. It yes, then the forward will fail.
3. Worst case, it could be an issue with your app server.
4. Try using ServletContext.getNamedDispatcher("HomeController"); as an alternative.
