           Summary: Request Dispatching - Parameters are not properly set
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Release Candidate 2
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


According to Servlet API Spec 2.3/Section 8.3.1, the following request
attributes are set whenever a request is dispatched to another servlet/jsp using
the 'include' method of the RequestDispatcher object:

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

This fields should enable a servlet being used from within an include to access
the parameters by which it was invoked.

According to our test environment checking several dispatching methods Tomcat
4.0rc2 seems to handle this fields wrongly. Using a RequestDispatcher (not a
NamedDispatcher) and the 'include' method, Tomcat 4.0rc2 does not set these
fields at all. Checking the request attributes, shows that these fields are not
available for the called servlet.
