Thanks. I've established 2 scenarios which work. My trouble is that I have not found any reference that explains exactly how the action attribute works in relation to the context root. If you know of any good explanation, please let me know.
Here is what works: Scenario 1 war file name: qwerty.war url pattern <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> action "" url http://localhost/qwerty Scenario 2 war file name: qwerty.war url pattern <url-pattern>/foo</url-pattern> action "/qwerty/foo" url http://localhost/qwerty/foo The 2nd scenario action does not follow the pattern; I expected it to be "/foo" Greg Kim, Yong wrote: >Is the "/Foo" valid path in terms of the web application's context root? >That's all I can think of.
