I confirmed that the change I suggested does fix the problem. Simply wrap
line 112 of WeblogRequestMapper with the following if().
if(servlet.startsWith("/")) {
servlet = servlet.substring(1); //old line 112
}
I hope this can be included in a future release. I don't want to have to
apply the change each time I upgrade. :)
Regards,
Sean
