Java Servlet on Sun server

In my servlet code I call response.sendRedirct("www.google.com");

First I compile the source file with javac -classfile
"j2ee-directory/j2ee.jar"

Add the class file into the newly created .war file with deyploy tool
and specify the one and only class file as the servlet class.

Then I deploy the .war file using the admin console.

However once I go to the directory that should be mapped to the servlet
it does not redirect to www.google.com instead it shows a empty
directory listing.

I tryed placing the redirect in both service methods, and the doGet
method.  However it never works correctly.

I know the servlet is deployed correctly because it does not return a
404 error or any other http/1.1 error code.

Have you defined the welcome page of your web application? And turn off the
directory listing while you're at it...

Try a full URL ie  "http://www.google.com/"
www.google.com is just a host, not a URL

You "go to the directory" using what?

I tryied using relative urls and full urls, on and off the server.
Well maybe not  relative urls off the server ;-)
All give the same results.

I used both relative and full urls, on and off the server.  Well, maybe
not relative urls off the server :-)

I figured it out.  I assumed that deploytool was setting the servlet
class as the servlet that is called within the context root.  However I
had to manually add the servlet mapping code.  It is fairly easy once
you know what your doing.  Thanks anyways.
