Well, I agree with Jon, but we had this whole discussion almost a year ago, and the conclusion was that the HTTP spec is wrong and we should follow the Servlet spec. Older versions of tomcat supported path info on extension mapped servlets, that was removed since it was considered a spec compliance bug. Workaround - declare each page with exact mappings in web.xml. Costin
