****************************************************************
WebSphere does not reset the state of the HttpServletRequest
object when returning from a RequestDispatcher.forward()
method call.  This results in incorrect return values
for HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo(),
HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI() and
HttpServletRequest.getServletPath() upon returning control
to the calling Servlet or JSP.
Problem conclusion
Modified the handling of HttpServletRequest path elements
to properly handle the restoring of these elements when
returning from a RequestDispatcher.forward().
