Pull Request Overview
This PR updates the handling of request attributes when forwarding or including a resource to align with the Jakarta Servlet 6.0 specification. Key changes include:
- Updating test cases in ServletDispatcherResultTest.java to validate the proper request attributes for forward and include scenarios.
- Refactoring ServletDispatcherResult.java to remove the conditional setting of FORWARD_SERVLET_PATH based on query parameters and instead set all required forwarding attributes.
- Introducing analogous attribute settings for include operations to comply with the specification.

I think setting these is the responsibility of the servlet container e.g. tomcat, inside the implementation of the forward method. We should not have to do it here at all.

I think this is missing a guard to set the attribute only if it is not already set. There can be multiple forwards, and this attribute should contain the original request as far as I understand.
Per the other comment I think this is redundant, the servlet container should be setting these properties and we should not touch them.

@MFAshby thanks a lot for review, you were right and these attributes should be controlled by the container. |
