Subject: Please Look -  3.2 beta 7 problem -  RequestDispatcher  include()

Are you not suppose to mix URL access with a RequestDispatcher?
Thanks.

Also, in 3.2 beta 6 I could do an include() then a forward().
Now in 3.2 beta 7 I get an illegalState error on the forward()
because of an open outputstream.  I'm not opening an output stream.
The include() must be doing it.
