Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users       *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In the case of including a servlet/jsp  *
*                      with named dispatcher, the user can get *
*                      javax.servlet.include.* attributes.     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
According to the servlet2.3 specification, in case of including
a servlet/jsp with named dispatcher, javax.servlet.include.*
attributes should be cleared.
Problem conclusion
Application Server changed the implementation of named
dispatcher. Now javax.servlet.include.* attributes are cleared
before dispatching and restored (if they were set) after the
include.
