Found it (I think). I believe it was a servlet caching issue. I went and
tried my example again and out of the blue it worked. I forgot that
somewhere in the chain from my servlet engine (Tomcat on Linux) to my
browser (IE 6) servlets get cached. Sometimes when I make a change it takes
4-6 browser page reloads for the latest compile of the servlet to show up.
I think this is what happened. I'm sorry for the trouble and you guys time
on this but maybe this post will help someone down the road.
Again thanks,
Kenny
