As I said yesterday, the statements in the spec are hints and by no means definitive. They are certainly subject to interpretation. The quoted items are from the spec, my comments follow each. SRV.8.1.1 Query Strings in Request Dispatcher Paths: "The ServletContext and ServletRequest methods that create RequestDispatcher objects using path information allow the optional attachment of query string information to the path." "Parameters specified in the query string used to create the RequestDispatcher take precedence over other parameters of the same name passed to the included servlet. The parameters associated with a RequestDispatcher are scoped to apply only for the duration of the include or forward call." Since query information is normally unique to a request, I think the above could be construed that the RequestDispatcher is cognizant of the query string. If so, each RequestDispatcher would be associated with a specific request. SRV.8.4.1 Query String: "The request dispatching mechanism is responsible for aggregating query string parameters when forwarding or including requests." Again, I think the above can be viewed as tying a RequestDispatcher object to a specific request. SRV.15.2.8 ServletContext, getRequestDispatcher(String): "The resource can be dynamic or static." Since dynamic resources can come and go and their existence can be dependent on specific requests, there is an implication that a RequestDispatcher is associated with the request it has been created for. "Send lawyers, guns, and money." (That's not in the spec, but perhaps should be.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
