http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7686 Issue with pathInfo in complex include() scenarios Summary: Issue with pathInfo in complex include() scenarios Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.3 Final Platform: PC URL: http://www.sysmics.de/download/test.war OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Unknown AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a strange behaviour in Tomcat 4.0.3. When using inclusion like requestDispatcher().include() in servlets or <jsp:include page="..." /> in JSP pages, pathInfo parameters don't work as expected, and should probably not be used. This problem appears when you create a servlet that uses the pathInfo part of the request to include another resource from the context, especially a JSP page. Example: You have a context "test" and a servlet "test02" that is called like "/test/test02/somefile". Then in "test02" you use the pathInfo "/somefile" to do something like requestDispatcher("/test02/somefile").include(request, response). Now let's say "somefile" can be "some.jsp" and "test.html", which are pages in the context. If in "some.jsp" there is a statement <jsp:include page="/test02/test.html">, and you call "/test/test02/some.jsp" in the browser, inclusion won't work, and you will even run in an ugly endless inclusion loop. HOWEVER if you change from using pathInfo to "old style" parameters (like /test/test02?file=some.jsp" and <jsp:include page="test02?file=test.html"> it works fine. However, I see no reason for the pathInfo parameter case not working as well. I have created a small war archive (http://www.sysmics.de/download/test.war) that illustrates the problem and gives plenty of cases. Please have a look at the "/index.html" page for an overview. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
