According to the spec (section 8.2 for those of you following along at home :), the only safe HttpServletRequest to pass is the one that was passed into the Servlet, or a child of HttpServletRequestWrapper that wraps the one that was passed into the Servlet. Tomcat happens to be very lenient in inforcing this restriction among Servlet-Containers out there. The other-guys would probably throw an exception straight away for attempting something like the above. > Thx. > Cristi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
