after redirect by ReguestDispatcher page context isn't displayed (white page)?

Question

I moving from projects page to see tasks for current project.

I need to redirect to tasks page for chosen project. It is redirected to ok url, but page isn't displayed. It shows white page:

URL is correct and parameter is passed correct.

Here is snipped of projectTable.jsp:

<form action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/manager/projectstable" method="post" id="projectstable-form">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="table-responsive tile col-md-10 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 col-md-offset-1">
            <table class="table table-striped table-hover">
            <!-- Table -->
            <thead>
            <tr>
                <th></th>
                <th>#</th>
                <th><fmt:message key="project.name" /></th>
                <th><fmt:message key="project.description" /></th>
                <th><fmt:message key="project.notes"/></th>
                <th><fmt:message key="project.tasks"/></th>
            </tr>
            </thead>

            <tbody>
            <c:forEach var="project" items="${requestScope.projects}">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <label class="checkbox" for="checkbox${project.id}">
                            <input type="checkbox" name="checkedProjects" value="${project.id}"
                                   id="checkbox${project.id}" data-toggle="checkbox">
                        </label>
                    </td>
                    <td>${project.id}</td>
                    <td>${project.projectName}</td>
                    <td>${project.description}</td>
                    <td>${project.notes}</td>
                    <td><a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/manager/taskstable?project_id=${project.id}"
                        class="btn btn-info btn-xs"><fmt:message key="project.see.tasks"/></a>
                    </td>

How it looks at browser:

and moving is implemented as link button - See tasks.

Here is snippet of TasksTableServlet:

@WebServlet("/manager/taskstable")
@MultipartConfig
public class TasksTableServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(AddTaskServlet.class);
    private TaskService taskService;
    private List<Task> tasks;
    private static final String DATE_FORMAT = "MM/dd/yyyy";

    public static final String ATTRIBUTE_TO_MODEL = "tasksList";
    public static final String PAGE_OK = "/pages/manager/tasksTable.jsp";
    public static final String PAGE_ERROR_URL = "error";

    @Override
    public void init() throws ServletException {
        taskService = new TaskService();
    }

    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        try {
            if (request.getParameter("project_id") != null) {
                System.out.println("ID: " + request.getParameter("project_id"));
                updateTable(request);
                if (!tasks.isEmpty()) {
                    request.setAttribute(ATTRIBUTE_TO_MODEL, tasks);
                    request.getRequestDispatcher(PAGE_OK);
                    return;
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error(e);
        }
        response.sendRedirect(PAGE_ERROR_URL);
    }

private void updateTable(HttpServletRequest request) {
    try {
        int id = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("project_id"));
        tasks = taskService.getByProjectId(id);
    } catch (DAOException e) {
        log.error(e);
    }
}

And here is content of tasksTable.jsp.

I couldn't figure out why this page isn't displayed? It should work, to my mind.

How to solve this trouble?

Answer 1

Requesting a dispatcher is just the first step. You also have to actually forward.

request.getRequestDispatcher(PAGE_OK).forward(request, response);
return;
