Switched included request parameters
Summary: Switched included request parameters
Product: Tomcat 3
Version: 3.3 Beta 2
Platform: Sun
OS/Version: Solaris
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: Other
Component: Servlet
AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: tom.sprenger@adnovum.com
When a servlet is called using a RequestDispatcher - the dispatcher is received
by calling getRequestDispatcher() of ServletRequest and servlet to call is
addressed by its class name - it mixes up its path information stored in the
requet's attribute fields.
The servlet is basically called by
disp = req.getRequestDispatcher("/servlet/appsvtest.server.AppSvTestServlet");
disp.forward(req, resp);
The attribute fields of the called servlet contain the following values after
the forward call.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attribute: javax.servlet.include.path_info
Value: /servlet/ch.nevis.appsvtest.server.AppSvTestServlet
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attribute: javax.servlet.include.servlet_path
Value: [empty string]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By my understanding the servlet path should instead point to the servlet class
and the path info should contain an empty string, because there is no additional
information after the name of the servlet class.
