Craig, Michael,

thank you for your help!

Craig, your last email explained everything - thank you. I am a lot less
stressed now :) I have a few questions though.

Instead of mapping each servlet I just removed /servlet/* invoker mapping.
It worked after that. Is it safe to do so? What does the invoker do?
I took a look at the source code - and realized that you wrote it! Thanks
for taking your time to explain it all...
Anyway, why do you forward instead of include in there? How come Tomcat
works without this association (/servlet/*)?

Thank you again,
-a
