Class GenericDispatcher

java.lang.Object
  com.jcorporate.expresso.core.jsdkapi.GenericDispatcher

public class GenericDispatcher

extends Object

As we no longer support the 2.0 Servlet API, this class is just a wrapper to the appropriate methods, as they do not vary between 2.1 thru 2.3 of the API.

IMPORTANT: The URL's for "forward" and "include" are RELATIVE to the context root (even if they begin with "/").
