I have a javax.servlet.Filter class that I would like to redirect urls. The problem is that when I call
httpResponse.sendRedirect("http://myurl/login.jsp")
return;
it doesn’t redirect to there. I can see from the firebug network console that the request matches the correct url, but the page doesn’t change and the current address bar url remains unchanged.
The request looks valid.

The response contains the contents of login.jsp
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
I have tried using
request.getRequestDispatcher("/login.jsp").forward(request, response);
and that just doesn’t work, as I see in Firebug it requests the url that I am currently on.
I was redirecting a request from CometD, which doesn’t actually send me anywhere. Redirects have to be done on GET requests.
