I apologize if anyone has already asked this question, but I searched
the board and didn�t see it.

JSR 168 has the following line in it (Section PLT.16.3):
�
�Servlets and JSPs included from portlets should not use the servlet
RequestDispatcher forward method as its behavior may be
non-deterministic.�
�
I am no expert on Struts, although I have used it quite a bit.� It seems
that if I wanted to wrap my Struts app in a Portlet and access various
actions through the PortletRequestDispatcher (the most logical
approach), I would run afoul of this warning.
�
Lacking an implementation to test my hypothesis (*$&# IBM legal
department), I am unsure whether this actually fails or not.� My gut
instinct is that it probably wouldn�t, but that it may not be reliable
across implementations of servlet and portlet containers.� 
�
I wanted to get some thoughts from the Struts community about this
possible issue.� Also, I wanted to know what the impact would be of
using RequestDispatcher�s include method instead?� Or at least providing
the facility to portlet developers?
�
I apologize if I have wrongly assumed anything in my question.� This is
my best estimate based on what I have read.
�
Thanks,
