I will read the specs, but I am having a deja vu: California Driver's Handbook is for drivers, who don't know how to drive anyway. It is just a funny comics pamphlet. California Vehicle Code is a real thing for cops, and contains all the proper rules. > <spec-quote version="2.4" section="8.4"> > Before the forward method of the RequestDispatcher interface returns, the > response content must be sent and committed, and closed by the servlet > container. > </spec-quote> Frankly speaking, as a user I don't care about dispatchers, responses and containers. I just want to include a _resource_, which is allowed according to Sun's "quick reference card" for JSP 1.2. Ok, Sun apparently is screwed up, mixing the requirements, but it should not be my problem, because its syntax reference card works for me :) I want my problem to be solved. And this works in other containers. I understand that Tomcat has to go by the real spec, not by the comics book. Then, in this case spec should be updated. This functionality is important to me. And currently I cannot implement it on Tomcat without a... er... "patch", which I did myself and which can break something else. So I would prefer a real fix from Tomcat pros. > The language for the 2.3 spec is similar. Bottom line: Resin is wrong ;-). Wrong or not, it works great for me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
