The /servlet thing was never any kind of magic special case, it was just mapped to a servlet called InvokerServlet that invokes other servlets by name. Frequently, however, this poses security risks that might not be known to server administrators or application developers, so in Tomcat 4.1.12 and later, the mapping to the InvokerServlet is commented out by default. It is generally true that for a URL to be served by a servlet container, it needs to refer either to a resource in the webapp, or a mapping defined for a servlet or filter. -- Tim Moore / Blackboard Inc. / Software Engineer 1899 L Street, NW / 5th Floor / Washington, DC 20036 Phone 202-463-4860 ext. 258 / Fax 202-463-4863 > > Thanks > -Manoj. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 5:50 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: web.xml question > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Haytham Samad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 5:47 PM > > To: Tomcat Users List > > Subject: RE: web.xml question > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I think you need to change your url to the following: > > > > http://localhost:8080/test/servlets/SessioinTest > > > > or change servlets to servlet, not sure which at this point. > > This is basically how you call a servlet that is not mapped > > to a specific url pattern in your web.xml config file.
