Hussayn,
We appear to be having the same problem with the mappings in Apache having
nothing to do with the mappings in web.xml. It appears to me that I will
have to rewrite all my web.xml mappings into the tomcat-apache.conf.
Interesting that no one appears to have dealt with this issue in the past
and that there has been little or no support from this list concerning it.
I thought this was the place to come and get answers. Instead all we appear
to be getting is a bunch of RTFM's from people who have no interest or time
to answer our email appropriately.
I will be working on this issue to as well and will forward any experience
I get to you.
