Hi all, I sent this to Sun, thought it might be of interest to the community... I am using Tomcat 3.1 for a server side project. I have a problem in that I want to set headers, cookies specifically, from within an included servlet, using the <jsp:include page=/myServlet> mechanism. I see from the JSP 1.1 and Servlet 2.2 specs that this practice is prohibited, and attempts to use it are ignored. Thus Tomcat is adhering to the specs in this case. My question is "why is header manipulation within included servlets/JSP forbidden. Neither spec gives any insight to the reasons for this behaviour.
