dispatcher.forward(request, response);

RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/view/restaurants.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}

update: Probably the problem is in the controller.java. When i try the following code, i got HTTP Status 500. protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.write(request.getPathInfo());
}

forward() method This method forwards a request from a servlet to another servlet on the same server. It allows one servlet to do the initial processing of a request, obtains the RequestDispatcher object, and forwards the request to another servlet to generate the response.
Invoking a JSP Page from a Servlet. You can invoke a JSP page from a servlet through functionality of the standard javax. servlet.
Try this
request.getRequestDispatcher("/view/electrics.jsp").forward(req,res);
