In order for this to work, you also need a servlet mapping that attaches
the path "/TestServlet" to your servlet. Like this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>vl</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/TestServlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Then (assuming you install this as the ROOT webapp), the URL:
http://www.server.com/TestServlet/paramone/paramtwo/paramthree
will indeed be processed by your servlet. It will see the following
values:
request.getServletPath() will return "/TestServlet"
request.getPathInfo() will return "/paramone/paramtwo/paramthree"
All the rules for servlet mappings and how they work (which is exactly
what Tomcat does :-) are in the servlet specification, which you can
download at <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html>.
