Thanks, Randy. I think this will work. I thought of doing this, but thought that there must be an existing method for extracting this information. This solution, though workable, seems like a kludge. Is Apache's concept of 'contexts' spec'd? If so, doesn't it seem logical that there should be a way of determining what the 'context' is separate from the 'servlet', and visa versa, without resorting to custom string parsing?
Anyway, back to work. Again, thank you for your help. - mbi ====================================================== Mark Indictor -- Site2 Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.site2.com> Phone:(310)451-3472 FAX:(240)220-6341 http://keyserver.pgp.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8959F966 ====================================================== -----Original Message----- From: Randy Layman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 10:33 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: REPOST: Please HELP!: URL Mapping Problems in servlet I think that this approach is very close to what you want. Instead of lastIndexOf("/") you could do lastIndexOf (or indexOf) getServletName. Another alternative would be to use lastIndexOf(getPathInfo()) on the request URI. As to why the methods return what they do, its because the spec says so. Randy
