forward errors not reported

           Summary: forward errors not reported
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Release Candidate 2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hans@gefionsoftware.com


An attempt to forward to a non-existing resource results in an empty response, 
i.e. a "The document contained no data" message in Netscape. An error message 
stating that the forward target can not be found would be better.

An attempt to forward to any page after flushing the buffer, e.g.

  <jsp:include page="existing.jsp" flush="true" />
  <jsp:forward page="any.jsp" />

results in a response with the content of the JSP page upto the include.
An error message stating that forward can not be done after flushing the buffer 
would be a better response.
