Request dispatch problem

Question

To all
The problem is that my request dispatching is not forwarding the request and I haven't got a clue why. I have a upload servlet which is working fine as it parses the request and the forwards you to the same jsp page or the next jsp page according to what values it extracts. However I have set up a bean to display the contentType() of each request which is sent to it from the jsp pages, however nothing is displayed when the request is forwarded from the upload servlet. this is what is happening .....
public class upload extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost( HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res ) throws ServletException, IOException {
HttpServletRequest request = _req;
HttpServletResponse response = _res;
parseMultiForm pMF = new parseMultiForm( _req );
Hashtable values = new Hashtable();
String param;
while ( ( param = pMF.getNextParameter()) != null) {
String value = pMF.getParameter();
values.put(param, value);
if (values.containsKey("submit")) {
String url = (String) values.get("reload");
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/" + url);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
if (values.containsKey("continue")) {
String url = (String) values.get("next");
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/" + url);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
The above servlet forwards the request to a jsp which does the following....
<jsp:useBean id="info" scope="session" class="InfoBean" />
<jsp:setProperty name="info" property="request" value="<%= request %>" />
However infoBean does not receive anything when the request is forwarded from the servlet??
Can anyone see anything obviously wrong?? is it to do with the JSP asking for the <%= request> and not receiving it because the request dispatcher has altered it in some way?
Thanks in advance anyone

Answer 1

I have exactly the same problem. I can�t make the servlet pass the request object to the target jsp.
Try not changing the request nor the response. Unfortunatelly due to the kind of job i do inside my servlet there's no way i can't touch the request. So if you can make it work with mi advice please let me know.
