RequestDispatcher.forward doesn't work with a relative path on a forwarded request

           Summary: RequestDispatcher.forward doesn't work with a relative
                    path on a forwarded request
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: stephane.sr.riviere@atosorigin.com


Let's get : 
- ServletA, mapped to /servletA/*, forwarding all request to servletB, using an 
absolute path ("/servletB/index.srv")
- ServletB, mapped to /servletB/index.srv, forwarding all request to a JSP, 
using a relative path ("index.jsp")
- index.jsp is located in "servletB" subfolder

=> accessing to URL /servletB/index.jsp correctly return JSP content (!)
=> accessing to URL /servletB/index.srv correctly forwards to the JSP (forward 
is OK)
=> accessing to URL /servletA/index.srv return a 404 on "/index.jsp" (request 
dispatcher lost context info)
