James -
I just downloaded the latest code and I'm building it now. After looking over section
10 of the 2.2 spec, I realized that the servlet mapping was really up to the servlet
engine vendor (before 2.2).
I also took a closer look at the 2.2 spec, and I've got a question (just a question):
The 2.2 spec allows for both "/*" and "/", but they seem to have the same result;
acting at the "default servlet". What is the difference? Can you give an example URL
where that would trigger one and not the other?
Thanks,
- Paul Philion
