Hi,

I'm trying to use UrlRewriteFilter (
http://code.google.com/p/urlrewritefilter/ - basically Apache mod_rewrite 
implemented in a filter) with Guice. I've found that request parameters seem 
to get stripped off when dispatching to a Guice managed Servlet.

I wrote a simple servlet to confirm this:

Non Guice-managed servlet, mapped in web.xml to "/test"

@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse 
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
RequestDispatcher rd = 
request.getRequestDispatcher("/album?username=hello");
rd.forward(request, response);
}

Guice mapping:

serve("/album*").with(AlbumController.class);

Guice-managed Servlet:

String albumOwnerUsername = req.getParameter("username");
System.out.println(req.getParameterMap());
System.out.println(albumOwnerUsername);

If I visit /test, I get the following outputted:

{}
null

(ie, the parameter has been lost. Visting "/album?username=hello" works 
correctly)

I've seen a few previous postings about this, but never a resolution or a 
real explanation for why this should(?) happen.

I did some browsing in the Guice code, and found the following comment - 
which might be totally unrelated - or might indicate this behaviour is by 
design.

    // TODO(dhanji): check servlet spec to see if the following is legal or 
not.
    // Need to strip query string if requested...

5

(I can't actually see where the parameters are being stripped, though)

Either way - is this a bug? Or can someone please explain why Guice needs to 
strip the parameters?

Thanks
  Nick
