Chuck, Thanks for the advise, I fixed the problem. IT was definitely related to the way contexts were defined and not to the servlet mappings. Some of your replies to older postings helped me figure out the problem.
As a solution, I put the context files for the applications in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml as described in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html It didn't work right away. I had to remove the appBase attribute from the host definition and provide an absolute path in the context's docBase. After that everything worked as expected and all subdirectories mapped to the proper servlet.

There's a separate META-INF directory in each webapp, so each gets its own context.xml file. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
