Yes, that fixed the problem - thank you! Takes care of my problem with Tomcat, but it introduces a problem with the same app under VAJ - request.getContextPath() isn't in the IBM HttpServletRequest interface. Yet another place where VAJ isn't fully compliant with the Sun APIs...
Thanks again for the help Carsten!
