I am not arguing with you. Tried it on WebLogic and it works exactly as Tomcat does. So, obviously, you are right. I am just trying to understand why you are right. > 1) Applies to the core request class behavior. Cool, it works. The RD > has to wrap it using a request wrapper, so it does not apply. So, what you are really saying is that the API should have pointed out that getRequestURL() does not work the same way every time. Then, I am not sure how anyone could have arrived at the conclusion that the words "... URL the **client** used to make the request..." really means "unless something else happens behind the scene" and the returned value is no longer what the **client** used. That doesn't seem strange to you, taking only into account what has been said? Seems pretty clear to me. Unless, I am overlooking some other part of the spec that says something else. (Still bad since API didn't mention it, but at least understandable.) > 2) How about trying things instead of making what-if theories ? (hint: > it works fine) ;) I haven't tried this particular part. True. I HAVE tried everything else I mentioned however. Are you saying that how things really work ONCE AGAIN is not the way the servlet spec describes they should? Quote 8.4.2: "If the forwarded servlet was obtained by using the getNamedDispatcher method, these attributes **must not be set.**" Thanks, Yaakov. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
