getPathInfo bug when used with forwarding

[Sebastian Kanthak <se...@muehlheim.de>]

Hi,

I think I discovered a bug in tomcat 3.2.3 when using forwarding and 
getPathInfo().

Let's say I have Servlet1 on webapp "test". I call it with an URL like
"/test/servlet/Serlvet1/here/comes/my/path"

In Serlvet1, request.getPathInfo() gives me "/here/comes/my/path". Servlet1 
now forwards the request to Serlvet2 via
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/serlvet/Servlet2")
.forward(request,response)

In Servlet2, request.getPathInfo returns null but only (!) on the first 
invocation. If I access the same URL (/test/servlet/Servlet1/...) again, it 
works as expected! Also, if I directly access Servlet2 or access Servlet2 
before Servlet1, path info is set correctly.

I've searched the archive, but did not find a solution.

ciao Sebastian
