Summary: jetty does not follow spec regarding RequestDispatch.forward

Initial Comment:
I don't really know what the implications of this bug
is, but I was tracking down a bug in struts, which can
be seen here:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32014

This lead me to open a Tomcat bug here:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33640

Unfortunately, it appears that I was wrong. In doing my
testing, I noticed that Jetty was the only container I
tested (out of Tomcat 4 & 5, Resin, OC4J, and Weblogic)
that 'passed' the invalid test as displayed in the .war
file attached to the tomcat bug referenced above.

Ah the old wrap-over vs wrap under issue!!!

The spec is truely ambiguous about this issue.  Jetty jumped
left
and everybody else jumped right.    But right is a truely
aweful way
to jump and I have written about this at
http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/doc/servlet24.html#d0e711

But not to be the odd container out, jetty does also support the
stupid wrap-under approach.   If you look in the webdefault.xml 
file for Jetty, you will see the JSR154 stupidness filter
defined.
If you remove the comments you can have all the really stupid 
"features" from JSR154 such as wrap under and request attribute
listeners (please TELL me a use for these that wrappers cannot
solve?)

So ranting aside, jetty does support that behaviour, but
only optionally
because it is so stupid (oops ranting again).   I'm going to
have one more try during the next JSR round to get this
behaviour revoked and
if I fail then I will corrupt the core of Jetty and build it
in more tightly.
