This posting is more of an FYI.... Earlier I asked the question below.
Hans kindly pointed out that the servlet spec (SRV.8.3.1) indicates the servlet included by the <jsp:include> should have access to several request attributes with these names: 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 With TC v4.1.12, however, this is not working from within a JSP. The above attributes are *not* available in the servlet's request object. Original Question ----------------- I have a servlet named "FormDispatcher" which I include from a JSP like this: <jsp:include page="servlet/FormDispatcher/abc/def"/> What I *want* is for the FormDispatcher servlet to be able to access the "/abc/def" path info by calling "request.getPathInfo()". When the servlet calls "request.getPathInfo()", however, the method returns the path info for the JSP which contains the <jsp:include> element shown above, not "/abc/def". I understand why this is and it makes perfect sense to me. *BUT*, I'm hoping there is a way, somehow, for me to gain access to the "/abc/def" path info. As a workaround I'm passing "/abc/def" as a request param as shown below but I'd rather the included servlet be able to access the path info that was specified in the <jsp:include> tag. Is it possible? Thanks very much. The workaround.... <jsp:include page'"/servlet/FormDispatcher"> <jsp:param name="caller-param" value="/abs/def"/> </jsp:include> =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
