Hi Zhi,
I'm not sure why some subfolders are unreachable, though
without seeing the "uriworkermap" file contents its hard
to guess. Thanks for rediscovering the case sensitivity
issue. I had forgotten about that.
Note: The proper way to map the "root" context is to
specify path="" instead of path="/". path="" establishes
the context as the "default" context, where path="/" makes
the context just another web app. However, off the top
of my head, I can't name a noticeable side effect of this.
This doesn't mean there isn't one.
Cheers,
Larry
