Hi,
Thanks Simon for the valuable advice. I got most of it. I still need
some clarifications:
I am use: Tomcat 3.2
WindowsNT4
IIS 4.0.
Things I did is:
1) I Repeated the following lines in server.xml in <tomcat home/conf>
for different context-paths
(i.e. for http://host/context-path/<servlet name>: /servlet, /login
etc)
by adding different values of 'prefix' attribute.
<RequestInterceptor
className="org.apache.tomcat.request.InvokerInterceptor"
debug="0" prefix="/login/" />
2) Defined mappings in web.xml (in webapps/root/.../web.xml) for all
servlets that are in packages.
This seems to work when I requests to Tomcat directly. I wanted to
know:
A) whether the above configurations is logically CORRECT.
-Thanks
