Craig's correct. It's not legal in 3.x (and also won't work). However, if all you want to do is to set parameters, you can simply add them to the query string of the URL that you pass to getRequestDispatcher. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig R.

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]> *----* This message is intended only for the use of the person(s) listed above as the intended recipient(s), and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL.
