BUG 5722 : Forward to page display a blank page

Sorry to bother you, i'd like to comment on bug 5722.

I tried to forward to page that do not exist :
doNotExist

<html>
<jsp:forward page="/doNotExist"/>
</html>
this displays a blank page

i tried to forward to a page that do not exist with extension :
<html>
<jsp:forward page="/doNotExist.jsp"/>
</html>
this displays a 404 error page.
i was expecting that a page with no extension would display a 404 page.

Thanks

Thomas Colin de Verdière

Section 8.1 of the servlet spec requires that the RequestDispatcher returns
the content of the path.  If it's not there, it has no content.

In fact, I'd almost 'fixed' this before going back and re-reading the
servlet spec.  I just can't find enough wiggle room in section 8.1 (of
either 2.2 or 2.3) to allow this.  If anyone else can find a way to
interpret the spec differently, I'd be more than happy to change this for
RC1.

The difference in the examples is that "doNotExist.jsp" has a servlet (sort
of :), whereas "/doNotExist/" has no handler.
