Thanks Peter for your immediate response. Issue 1: exceeding the 65535 byte : I agree that my jsp is huge and it might be crossing the limits, but the same jsp works fine when deployed in weblogic server. So is there any other way i can resolve this, bcos reducing the size of the jsp doesn't seem to be the ideal solution when the same is working in weblogic server. issue 2 : My web.xml version is as follows <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> code that works <jsp:forward page="../resagentmode/findbooking.jsp"/> code that does not work <jsp:forward page="../resagentmode/findbooking.jsp"></jsp:forward> regards, Darshan View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4198147#...
