Automatically redirect from one JSP page to Another

Question

Is it possible to redirect a user automatically to a second jsp page as soon as the home page loads?

That wouldn't be done by the JSP. That is server side. You want client side behavior. Use javascript. I don't see the point however. Wouldn't you just want to send a redirect instead of ever hitting the first page? — Sotirios Delimanolis, Sep 02 '13 at 15:04

With core JSTL libraries loaded <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> you can use:

<c:redirect url="/home.html"/>

Sure, all over the place. Did you look? Here is an example http://www.devmanuals.com/tutorials/java/jsp/jstl/CoreTagRedirect.html and another http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jsp/jstl_core_redirect_tag.htm and some notes from IBM http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jstl0318/ – JohnMark13 Jun 16 '14 at 11:54

There is an example of such a thing: JSP - Page Redirecting

Simplest is using sendRedirect:

public void response.sendRedirect(String location)
throws IOException

Whilst this is the accepted answer, you should try hard to minimise the amount of scriptlets in your JSP as they inevitably add untestable complexity. If you need a tutorial which achieves the same thing using standard tag libraries see http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jsp/jstl_core_redirect_tag.htm – JohnMark13 Sep 02 '13 at 18:44
