I just noticed that facade/RequestDispatcherImpl.java uses the strings defined in core/LocalStrings*.properties, where rdi.forward.ise is defined, but it also tries to use strings that aren't defined there. They are dispatcher.includeException dispatcher.forwardException both of which are actually defined in resources/LocalStrings*properties. I would send a patch, but I don't know if the intent is to use the strings from core or resources. To use core, the "dispatcher.includeException" and "dispatcher.forwardException" strings need to be moved into the core LocalStrings files. To use resources, the "rdi.forward.ise" needs to be moved into the resources LocalStrings files and the RequestDispatcherImpl.java needs to be modified to get a StringManager for the resources package instead of the core package. I don't think this is applicable to Tomcat 3.3 or 4.0, but maybe if there is ever a 3.2.3 release it can be included.
