Now I have a simple question: Do you think this is a Tomcat bug or not?

About the security issue (or not): We _did_ test our application. We just
didn't expect that a working JSP would change its behaviour just because we
include it from another one! Also think about third party components. If you
have a third party JSP that does a forward, you can never be sure it works
within an include. The bottom line is: JSPs should _never_ be served as
static content (except an application explicitly changes the .jsp mapping or
serves it itself). Everything else is at least a bug. Sorry for repeating
this again and again, but Orion and Resin don't have this issue and I'd love
to fix Tomcat provided I get some positive feedback regarding my proposed
solution.

Best regards

  Andreas
