I have just configured Tomcat 4.0 to use a new context (called "AppManager"). 
I have a simple JSP test page in the AppManager context directory, and it runs
fine as the following:

<HTML>
  test login page
</HTML>

However, I am trying to enhance it by extending the page from an ancestor class
(that is completely devoid of code except for the _jspservice() and
service())...

<%@ page extends="www.WWW_Page" %>
<HTML>
  test login page
</HTML>

But when I do this in the JSP page, I get the following error:

HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL


I decided that I would first test out Tomcat 3.2 to see if it was just
something unimplemented in 4.0, but 3.2 came up with a very similar error under
the equivalent configuration.

My web.xml file under the AppManager context is basically empty
(<web-app></web-app>), so that the new context inherits all from the
conf/web.xml, which is pretty standard from the default conf/web.xml that comes
with the Tomcat 4.0 package.

Am I missing some security configuration measures in the context/web.xml file? 
I tried adding a <security-constraint> element, (similar to the sample found in
the examples/web.xml file) that had references to the HTTP methods available,
but this editing did not work.

Thanks,
Bret
