The servlet is an application that has numerous modes. If I want to create a new user of the app, I type the URL:
servername/webapp/servletname?mode=19 I enter all the details of the new user, and the servlet "posts" this info - a get would show password details in the URL. It then creates a page: servername/webapp/servletname/stringofnumbers Informing me of the outcome of the attempt to create a new user - i.e. success or failure. At this point it fails with a 404. The logs give exactly the same info. I've checked everything I can think of and changed the DocumentRoot in Apache to the webapps/webappname directory. No joy! As I see it there are two possibilities: I've misconfigured TC and/or Apache - but how? The servlet implements or does something that is no longer supported in TomCat and/or the latest servlet API. I'm at a loss!

It turned out that Tomcat wanted to see a "=" separating the name=value pairs. From your example above, it looks like you're just trying to pass some numbers so you don't actually need the "=" (informationally), but Tomcat does to pass it on through the request. Simply adding the "=" fixed it for me. Now, sometimes I'll add a label as the value, like: thedata=a_label, which is a visual convenience but ignored by the backend. Just my experience.
