First my apologies if this has been discussed; searching the list for subject keywords, I did not see this discussion...

It's my understanding that servlet 2.5 loosened the requirement that a included/callee Servlet (and JSP?) cannot set the resp headers/status, and should now be able to set them if not already committed. But is this correct?:

1: J2EE 5 / Servlet 2.5, RequestDispatcher.include still states that "The included servlet cannot change the response status code or set headers; any attempt to make a change is ignored.": http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/RequestDispatcher.html

2: In practice Tomcat (6.0.18) indeed ignores the setHeader call in the callee.

Any links or comments that can clarify the situation would be appreciated.

Warm regards,
Ken
