Hi again
The missing interest in this question tells me something...
I finally managed the problem to disappear by not (probably stupidly)
logging in by dispatching the login controller. In test cases I use the
login mechanism "directly" by using the authentication service. Now its
possible dispatch a controller multiple times successfully.
Sorry for the disturbance and thanks for your effort making the
framework better.
Sincerely
Dave
