Hey Matt. The problem isn't with any of those methods, per se, but with the
fact that all of those methods are doing the same thing--attempting to
access the request object. The bug appears following a forward, like
<jsp:forward/>, or some other redirect, whereupon the request object seems
to lose its state. So, if you aren't forwarding/redirecting your request,
then you won't see the problem.
Best,
Patrick

I'm using the req.getAttribute("") and setAttribute("", att) fine in JRUN3.0
and I'm using the same commands as in
theprevious example.... but if it's not working for you why not just add it
to the session or ServletContext?
