in netbeans I have a web app with index.html, getEmployees (servlet) and listEmployees.jsp. I couldn't get the request dispatch to bring me from the second to the third

 String destination = "listEmployees.jsp";
        RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher(destination);
        rd.forward(request, response);

, so just testing things out I tried to use <a href="listEmployees.jsp"> View employees </a> to bring me to the jsp, that didn't work and neither did using it's location from my file directory. I have commented out all the code except for the forwarding code so this is definitely the only problem.

I think it may be that getEmployees.java is in the and listEmployees.jsp is in the WEB-INF file folder.. However I have tried using WEB-INF/listEmployees.jsp as the destination to the same 404 error

why you have place jsp file in `WEB-INF` ,it should be in `web` folder? – Swati Mar 02 '19 at 04:01
Post your code completely and give a screenshot of your project structure – Avijit Barua Mar 02 '19 at 07:21
