Si,
I haven't yet thought of a way to see the attributes getting lost in the SVN
code. I was able to see it in my code because I used redirect and forced an
error which wasn't displayed. Ordermgr quickship uses redirect which might
show this problem also.
Anyway, I tried the obvious solution (commenting out the restore attribute
code in RequestHandler.java) and it does show the error that I wasn't able
to see before. I don't yet know if it breaks anything.
Regards,
Vinay Agarwal

Subject: Re: Redirect: Restoring Request Attributes
How do I replicate this bug you are reporting?
I am hoping that might solve the "Service invocation error: commit
transaction failed" error messages as well, by the way, so I'd be happy to
look through this with you.
