hi,
i'm looking into the 2.2 servlet
spec, section 8.3 (Include). The text in the paragraph reads as:
"The target servlet has access to all aspects of the request object, but
can only write information to the ServletOutputStream or Writer of the response
object as well as the ability to commit a response by either writing content
past the end of the response buffer or explicitly calling the flush method of
the ServletResponse interface. The included servlet cannot set headers or call
any method that affects the headers of the response."
here's my question: should the setter methods
on the request object be ignored? there are two methods that could modify the
request state:
- setAttribute
- removeAttribute
should these methods be
muted when the target servlet is invoked?
thanks,
mark.
