Based on my understanding, the getPathTranslated allows the TC's default
servlet to find the file located on the file system to fulfill the
request. Since it's incorrect, how can I get the TC's default servlet to
work correctly? Please clarify if I misunderstood getPathTranslated's
purpose or how TC's default servlet would find the file in question to
fulfill the request.
Thank you,
