Sorry, but the servlet spec does not allow a path that is mapped to an extension (*.jsp) to include additional path info. I believe some container allows it, but relying on that behavior is not portable. You're only option for embedding extra information in a JSP path is to use a query string: http://server/application/mypage.jsp?extra=myinfo If the extra info is a path (a string with slashes), you must URL encode it.
