>             Project: Struts 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Core
>    Affects Versions: 7.0.0
>            Reporter: Rubens Gomes
>            Priority: Major
>
> I am running Struts "7.0.0-M9" along with Spring Boot "3.3.2" + Spring Security with embedded tomcat version is "10.1.26"
> I have a Struts Action class annotated with :
>  
> {code:java}
> @Result( 
>   name = Action.INPUT,
>   location = "/WEB-INF/content/%{#request.device}/login.jsp",
>   type = "dispatcher"
> ){code}
>  
> I have noticed that after returning from the Action class (ViewLoginAction.java) the framework is invoking the above JSP using a DispatcherType.GET instead of DisplatcherType.FORWARD.
>  
> StrutsRequestWrapper is missing request attribute "jakarta.servlet.forward.request_uri"
>  
> Then, tomcat "org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher" doForward method fails to find that attribute in the following line:
>  
>  
> {code:java}
> if (hrequest.getAttribute(FORWARD_REQUEST_URI) == null)
> { 
>   ...
>   ...
>   // then tomcat defaults to setting value of various request attributes 
>   ...
>   ...
> }
>  
> {code}
>  
> And after that, tomcat calls "processRequest(request, response, state);" in the same instance "ApplicationDispatcher" and fails to resolve a FORWARD dispatcher type below.
>  
> Instead, it resolves a REQUEST. And when tomcat sees REQUEST dispatcher type it does a GET on the JSP, instead of FORWARD.
>  
> Should StrutsRequestWrapper have request attribute "jakarta.servlet.forward.request_uri"?  If not why tomcat is resolving a GET instead of FORWARD? 
>  
> I do not see this issue with Struts 6.6.0 + Spring 2.7.18 with embedded Tomcat "9.0.83". which is based on javax.servlet instead.
