Thanks Craig. That did inform me more than I had hoped! ;)
When you get time...do you use getServletPath() or getRequestURI() to get
your action from a form action=""? In either case, what is the difference?
Lastly, is there a way to ALWAYS get the actual page the from is on, so that
I can forward back to that page? Right now I use getRequestURI() and it
return the /uri.do pattern, instead of the file. It does return the full
path information as to where the file is actually stored on the server, but
it doesn't return the jsp file name itself.
Thanks.
P.S. Yeah..that is neat. I have seen the "default" servlet called invoker
and mapped to /servlet/. Kewl tip.
