Hi

I have the following problem with query string parameters in the target URI 
while forwarding a request from one JSP to another.

Have a first JSP (forward.jsp) looking like

<jsp:forward page="target.jsp?PARAM=SECOND"/>

and a second one (target.jsp) which shows the value of the PARAM parameter

<html>
    <body><%= request.getParameter("PARAM") %></body>
</html>

When you invoke forward.jsp without a query string you correctly get SECOND as 
the parameter value, but with

forward.jsp?PARAM=FIRST

the shown value is FIRST. This happens also using

<jsp:forward page="target.jsp">
    <jsp:param name="PARAM" value="SECOND"/>
</jsp:forward>

as forward.jsp.

Both Tomcat 3.2.2 and Tomcat 4.0 rc1 show SECOND as the value parameter in all 
cases, as required by servlet 2.2 specs.
