I used to alias Turbine within JServ. While writing a application which
basically had one form per screen, I ran across one screen/form that when
submitted req.getServletPath() would drop the aliased part.
For example assuming I aliased Turbine as Turb
Running the app as:
http://host/servlets/Turb
req.getServletPath() returns /servlets
Running the app as:
http://host/servlets/Turbine
req.getServletPath() returns /servlets/Turbine
Odd bug in JServ that only occured for the one screen. But since then I
have quit using aliases with JServ. So it is nice that Turbine is not
buried down the package structure.
