[Springframework-developer] Suspicion of problem with getLastModified

[Olivier J. <oli...@pc...>]

Hi,
  after the problem raised in the forum : 
http://forum.springframework.org/viewtopic.php?t=1385 , I checked this a 
bit and noticed that all the mechanisms developped in the 
DispatcherServlet to get the last modification date and such were 
relying on the fact that getLastModified in called on DispatchedServlet, 
ok. However, the jsr152 implementation of tomcat (which is probably a 
common one) call the getLastModified in the 
service(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse), which is overidden in 
the FrameworkServlet, and no code related to getLastModified is called 
in the overidden method.
  I propose to reenable the getLastModified call by adding in the 
service method of FrameworkServlet the code used to handle the last 
modification, hance the proposed attached patch.
  If I haven't forgot something, which would explain that it should work 
as it is now but that I and the forum poster didn't see, please yell at 
me, else I'll open a jira issue to remember it.
  Regards
Olivier
