HANDLER THREAD PROBLEM?

Question

I'm trying to use the method Response.sendRedirect to forward users to another website. The actual case is irrelevant so I've extracted the important part into a simple servlet example:
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ReDirect extends HttpServlet
   public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException
      if(req.getQueryString()!=null)
         res.setContentType("text/html");
         res.getWriter().println("Your querystring: <b>"+req.getQueryString());
      else
         res.sendRedirect("http://java.sun.com");
}The funny thing is that the servlet works FINE, but that darn thing is generating an IOException (showing in the DOS prompt of the webserver) everytime the sendRedirect method is called! Why?
ReDirect: init
HANDLER THREAD PROBLEM: java.io.IOException: Socket Closed
java.io.IOException: Socket Closed
     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.getInputStream(PlainSocketImpl.java:432)
     at java.net.Socket$1.run(Socket.java:335)
     at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
     at java.net.Socket.getInputStream(Socket.java:332)
     at com.sun.web.server.ConnectionHandler.run(ConnectionHandler.java:161)I have tried everything... I've also searched the forum for similar problems, but it seems that noone have a logic explanation for this. Is this a bug in the servlet engine or is it something I'm doing wrong or have forgotten?
I'm using jswdk 1.0.1 and jdk1.3.1 on windows 2000, running the webserver that comes with jswdk.
Please, someone, explain this to me! This problem is torturing me day and night!!

Answer 1

Go get tomcat ...I used to get this error lot's when I used the jswdk. There are just some things it doesn't like ...yet when structured in certain way's ...it would work. I never did track down any consistent explanation. I just moved on to tomcat. The jswdk is really cheesy ...it can't do post ...or sessions ...or any 2.0 functionality ... or ... or ... Go get tomcat.
