If I remember that thread correctly, the functionality was not been added according to the code.

I just took a look at the web.xml file found within the tomcat 5 download
(jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/conf) and saw no indication of the
inclusion of this patch.

Per indications in the thread referred to below, I looked for an indication
that an init parameter was included that could be toggled to achieve this
behavior but nothing was denoted in the comments above this node that would
suggest it is a new feature.

Could someone please confirm that this feature has been included into tomcat
5 and instruct me as to how I would access this new functionality?  I really
really really want the forward behavior for my default page.  :-\


Thanks

5 will *probably* not be final until
- The specs(Serlvet 2.4, jsp 2.) become final
- The many internal changes are tested more
- The committers vote to declare it so

 From seeing past messages - it looks like the specs being declared
final is the buggest hurdle (to wait for). (But there have been some
significant internal changes which need more testing)

But anyone is free to use it since the source is available to make their
own release.

Actually, I just went to download tomcat 5 and it looks like there's no
release candidate of Tomcat 5 yet ... that its still in testing.  Is this
correct?  Does anyone know a timeframe for release?

Thanks.
