You are at risk of attack.

No, the DefaultServlet handles welcome-files, and the invoker does something different. By mapping the invoker servlet to "/*", you are essentially disabling the DefaultServlet. > If anyone has any idea of how to have this working it will be more > than welcome. If you can enumerate every servlet you expect to require the use of the invoker, then you can simply map them separately like this: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/com/geocomm/servlet/ServletA</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/com/geocomm/servlet/ServletB</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/com/geocomm/servlet/ServletC</url-pattern> ... </servlet-mapping> This will also close the biggest security problem associated with the invoker servlet. -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
