Therefore, not setting the "javax.servlet.include.path_info" attribute is the appropriate indication to the included servlet that it was invoked with no extra path info. Same thing happens on the query string attribute if there is no query string on the path passed to getRequestDispatcher(). Note that Tomcat's current behavior is what the J2EE compatibility tests are looking for, so you will find it to be portable across all containers.
