after switching from WebLogic 6.1 to Tomcat 5.0.19 as our web app container we're running into a problem with a slight difference in how these two containers handle HTTP request to the context path of our web app. We have a web app with a context path "/external" and on WebLogic GET requests to this URL will get mapped to the default servlet. Tomcat however sends a 302 ("Moved temporarily") responds an redirects the request to the URL "/external/" (note the extra slash at the end). Unfortunately in our case the URL "/external" is configured in another server outside our direct control and this server does also not follow HTTP redirects. So this small difference causes requests from the external server to our web app to fail.
I tried using different URL mappings for the default servlet in our web app but neither "/", "/*", nor "*" changed Tomcats behaviour. Is there some way to control Tomcats behaviour to map all requests to the context path of the web app directly to the default servlet?
