Answer 1

Your question about what is being passed from NES to WL caused me to
          re-examine what my servlets expect to receive. These servlets were originally
          written using a different servlet engine. I had been using the the URI header
          value (getHeader("URI") ) for the action value in html forms created by the
          servlets. I looked at the headers that WL returns from the getHeaderNames()
          method and URI is not one of them! So, of course, the action values the
          servlets created were null. The getRequestURI() method will return the info I
          want so I can use that instead. But how come many of the headers that I
          expect to see in a request are not returned by getHeaderNames()?
