Review Comment:
The comment in the include block is misleading; update 'forwarding to
another servlet' to 'including another resource' for clarity.
```suggestion
// These attributes are required when including another
resource, see specification:

> Key: WW-5548
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5548
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dispatch Filter
> Affects Versions: 7.0.0
> Reporter: Martin
> Assignee: Lukasz Lenart
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 7.1.0

> Time Spent: 20m

> The servlet request parameter jakarta.servlet.forward.servlet_path has the
> following documentation in tomcat:
> {noformat}
> The name of the request attribute that should be set by the container when
> the forward(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) method is called. It provides
> the original value of a path-related property of the request. See the chapter
> "Forwarded Request Parameters" in the Servlet Specification for details.
> {noformat}
> Strut's org.apache.struts2.result.ServletDispatcherResult#doExecute method is
> breaking this spec in a couple of ways:
> # it's setting the parameter to be the path that the request is about to be
> _forwarded_ to, not the _original_ path.
> # it's setting the parameter itself, when that should be the responsibility
> of the container (in this case, Tomcat) when forward() is invoked.
> Documentation for jakarta.servlet.forward.servlet_path
> https://jakarta.ee/specifications/servlet/6.0/jakarta-servlet-spec-6.0#forwarded-request-parameters
> Tomcat container implementation of forward() which is responsible for setting
> the parameter
> https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/99ebd1e375297ad02846322e85d533c61077a7dc/java/org/apache/catalina/core/ApplicationDispatcher.java#L241
> This is breaking integration with other tools which expect the
> FORWARD_SERVLET_PATH to be set correctly, such as sitemesh (from version 3.1
> onwards)
> {code:xml}
> <sitemesh>
> ....
> <mapping path="/auth/*.action" decorator="/WEB-INF/decorators/main.jsp"/>
> ....
> </sitemesh>
> {code}
> Sitemesh now picks up the incorrectly set FORWARD_SERVLET_PATH which in my
> case is mapped to a JSP in struts.xml like so
> {code:xml}
> <struts>
> ...
> <package name="authoritative links" extends="pkb-default" namespace="/auth"
> strict-method-invocation="true">
> <action name="dashboard" class="com.pkb.action.DashboardAction">
> <result name="success">/WEB-INF/view/dashboard.jsp</result>
> </action>
> ...
> {code}
> and my decorator is no longer applied, when it was previously.
> This behaviour was introduced in WW-5463
