Mark:
I added the foll to the doGet in SecondServlet:
if (req.getQueryString() == null) out.println("Query String is null.<P>");
else out.println("Query String is " + req.getQueryString() +"<P>");
ahead of:
if (req.getParameter("name") != null)
out.println("Name parameter is " + req.getParameter("name"));
else out.println("Use queryString var if you want a param value with a Get!");
(kept the TestReqDispatcher the same) and then submitted the URL:
http://java2.cmpco.com/servlet/TestReqDispatcher?name=Cedric
And the results on my browser are:
In doGet of SecondServlet
Query String is name=Cedric
Name parameter is Cedric
So it looks like it's working as advertised on my system (JRun/Linux). As you suggest,
it does look
like a weird bug in the servlet implementation you are working with. At least i cant
think of any other
reason! (especially in view of your even stranger workaround!!)

PS Please let me know if you find out anything else about this: thanks!
