I hope they hurry up and do it... it's not that big of a change and it would make life much easier.. for that matter it really annoys me how when your extension mapping, say *.do for struts, the servlet strips what you extension mapped off when it sends it to the servlet. IE if you matched /actions/blah.do with a *.do mapping, struts only gets /actions/blah to match by.. -David
