Thanks for the example. With that, turning on debugging, and looking at the code in DefaultServlet.java, I finally figured out what's going on. Turns out the standard DefaultServlet is designed to execute only with a path mapping of "/". It can also use extension mappings, but only those without any prefix - which is why your *.jpg mapping worked. The standard DefaultServlet uses HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo(), which is defined to return only extra path information - that which is beyond the mapping that selected the servlet. So, with the "/images/*" pattern and a URL of /test/images/test.jpg, the DefaultServlet went looking for "/test.jpg", and returned the 404 when it couldn't be found. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
