Hi everyone,
I'm running into some behavior that appears to be a bug in Tomcat 4.1.
I've written a small WAR to demonstrate the problem:
http://tesuque.stanford.edu/~dyoo/tomcat_wrapper_bug.war
The source code to this package is:
http://tesuque.stanford.edu/~dyoo/tomcat_wrapper_bug.tar.gz
The situation is the following:
Given a regular HttpServletRequest object, I wrap my own
HttpServletRequestWrapper around it. This wrapper includes a
setParameter() method that lets me define my own parameters.
Once I've reassigned a few parameters (like "name"), I do an
RequestDispatcher.include() to my presentation JSP.
Within that presentation jsp, I do another include to a small JSP
page. I also do some overriding some parameters using jsp:param.
The bug is that the jsp:param tags don't appear to be taking any effect in
my small jsp page!
I've determined that the HttpServletRequest that is being passed to the
small jsp page is my own wrapped request object, so there's no way the
jsp:param-ed variables can be passed on.
In a normal situation, the code that handles jsp:include will construct
its own wrapped request object to pass off any jsp:param'ed parameters.
However, for some reason, Tomcat appears not to do this wrapping process
on an HttpServletRequest that is already wrapped with
HttpServletRequestWrapper. I've looked at the Tomcat source code, and I
do see some potential problems in the request wrapping code.
Can someone verify that this is a real bug in Tomcat 4? I'd like to make
sure before I make a fool of myself. *grin*
