request.getRequestDispatcher("nothing")

           Summary: request.getRequestDispatcher("nothing")
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: xsilly@java.at


request.getRequestDispatcher( "..." ) does not return null (as said in the API 
documentation), when it does not know the resource.
E.g.
request.getRequestDispatcher( "aaaaa" ).forward( request, response ) 
forwards an error page, saying that aaaaa does not exist.
In former versions of servlet engines, getRequestDispatcher did return null in 
such a case - and this is also what is said in the documentation.
