Hi all,
The SlingRequestDispatcher implements the Servlet API RequestDispatcher
interface and is created upon any client calling any of the
SlingHttpServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher methods. The
SlingRequestDispatcher is also the base for the <sling:include> JSP tag
and the SlingScriptHelper.include implementation.
The ServletAPI defines the following request attributes to be set
whenever a resource/servlet is included by RequestDispatcher.include():
javax.servlet.include.request_uri
javax.servlet.include.context_path
javax.servlet.include.servlet_path
javax.servlet.include.path_info
javax.servlet.include.query_string
These request attributes are not currently set by the
SlingRequestDispatcher implementation.
On the other hand, we set the following request attributes when
including resources:
org.apache.sling.api.include.servlet
org.apache.sling.api.include.resource
Now I wonder, whether we should:
(1) set the javax.servlet.include.* attributes upon include ?
--> Probably yes for standards compliance
(2) define a new property
org.apache.sling.api.include.path_info
taking the SLingHttpServletRequest.getRequestPathInfo()
WDYT ?
BTW, in contrast to the javax.servlet.include.* request attributes which
are only set up calling the RequestDispatcher.include method, the
org.apache.sling.api.include.* request attributes are set when calling
the RequestDispatcher.include and RequestDispatcher.forward method.
Regards
Felix
