calling a jsp from a servlet

I'm calling a JSP, displayItems.jsp from a servlet, DataPortal.java. First I tried to do this using the RequestDispatcher like this,

String url = "/displayItems.jsp";
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = context.getRequestDispatcher(toDo);
dispatcher.forward(req, res);

well... the control did go to the JSP page, however it printed the entire contents of the JSP file (including tags and everything) instead of displaying as a webpage. Next I tried to achieve this by using response.sendRedirect(url); and this time it gives me an empty page. What am I doing wrong here? The JSP is like this,

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />        
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
<script src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
    <body>
    <div>i am in display category</div>
    </body>
</html>

Any help is appreciated.
