In servlet 2.2 (Tomcat 3.x), it is not legal to wrap the request (or response) that you pass to a request dispatcher -- the only choice you have is to add request attributes. In servlet 2.3 (Tomcat 4.0), it is legal to wrap the request and response, as long as you subclass the provided wrapper base classes. You can do this for both request dispatchers and filters. > Thanks, > diego > Craig McClanahan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
