You probably aren't getting a response because you didn't answer the question. Your opinion of how things should work isn't really relevant, here. Konstantin asked where Tomcat's behavior violates the servlet spec and you replied by telling him what you think ought to happen. That's not an answer, so you're being ignored. Can you find a place where your "seems to tell" scenario above is actually supported by language in the servlet specification? If so, tell us where. If the spec isn't clear on a subject, usually the safest thing to do is not change anything because users have become reliant on certain behavior. If and when the spec is clarified, a change will be made. -chris
