With servletcaching enabled the request attributes are not set
to null - they retain their values. Therefore, for example,
javax.servlet.include.servlet_path continues to hold its old
value.  Then, when the JSP engine gets this attribute from the
request in order to determine the uri of the current include,
the engine is not seeing NULL as it should be, and is instead
getting a string which causes the error to occur.
Problem conclusion
This fix properly nulls request attributes.
Additional Comments:
