Correct me if I am wrong, but the way I understand the <url-pattern> tag to
work in web.xml for servlets is that if you specify:
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
then the servlet for that pattern is the 'default' servlet.  I understand
that to mean that if a file is not found that matches a requested url, then
the servlet is used.  So if I have a /index.jsp, and /index.jsp is
requested, then /index.jsp will be used for the request, and not the default
servlet.

This is not the behavior I am getting with Orion.  If I request any url,
whether the file exists or does not exist, the default servlet is used to
service the request.

Am I mistaken as to the meaning of 'default' servlet?

Thanks,
John Sinnott
