Configure JVM sendRedirect calls to use context root

If the com.ibm.websphere.sendredirect.compatibility property is not set and the application servlet code has statements such as sendRedirect("/home.html"), your web browser might display messages such as Error 404: No target servlet configured for uri: /home.html.

Deprecated feature: The com.ibm.websphere.sendredirect.compatibility property is deprecated. You should modify the applications to redirect non-relative URLs (those starting with a "/") relative to the servlet container (web_server_root) instead of relative to the web application context root.depfeat

To instruct the server to use the context root for that the application uses for sendRedirect() calls instead of using the document root for the web server, configure the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) by setting the com.ibm.websphere.sendredirect.compatibility property to a true or false value.
