OK -- I'm having a related problem: I can hit my servlet with the following httpd.conf and web.xml file setup with these two URLs:
http://hostname:8080/s2/sb/ And http://hostname/SiteBlocks/sb/ >From within the servlet, I am trying to reconstruct the URL. I am using the following code: ... private String buildURL( HttpServletRequest req ) { // Build a new absolute URL StringBuffer url = new StringBuffer(); url.append( req.getScheme() ); // http url.append( "://" ); // http:// url.append( req.getServerName() ); // http://hostname url.append( ":" ); // http://hostname: url.append( req.getServerPort() ); // http://hostname:80 url.append( req.getServletPath() ); // http://hostname:80/SiteBlocks/sb return url.toString(); } ... Unfortunately, the URL this produces is either: http://hostname:8080/sb or http://hostname/sb, and not http://hostname:8080/s2/sb or http://hostname/SiteBlocks/sb as expected. Am I doing something wrong? If so, how can I get the desired result? Thanks for any assistance! Here's an excerpt from my httpd.conf file: ... <IfModule od_webapp.c> WebAppConnection warpconnection warp localhost:8008 WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/ WebAppDeploy SiteBlocks warpConnection /SiteBlocks/ </IfModule> ... Here's my entire web.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name> SiteBlocks </servlet-name> <servlet-class> S2Server </servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>resource</param-name> <param-value>/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2/webapps/SiteBlocks/WEB-INF/Site BlocksServer.properties</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> SiteBlocks </servlet-name> <url-pattern> /sb </url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> - Mark ====================================================== Mark Indictor -- V.P.

It should work. What URL are you using to invoke the servlet? With no mapping the URL would be http://server/servlet/warservlet. If your mapping is <url-pattern>/blah</url-pattern> then the URL would be http://server/blah. Restart Tomcat to be sure your changes take effect. - df
