This redirect happens if I instead map my servlet as a default servlet (servlet-mapping to /), but in this case I am using path mapping (/*) and no redirect is issued. Getting the /app request through without having the container insert a redirect to /app/ is preferrable (so I would rather remove redirecting from the default servlet case as well). > I suspect that it might be if there is no > welcome file at the root of the webapp. There are no files in the webapp apart from web.xml and the Java files. Here's the full web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5"> <display-name>servlet25tries</display-name> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <servlet> <servlet-name>pathservlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>LoggingServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>pathservlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> Best regards Mike > > yields the following values on the request: > > requestUri = "/app" > > contextPath = "/app" > > servletPath = "" > > pathInfo = "/" > > This seems to violate the rule: > > requestUri = contextPath + servletpath + pathInfo > > on page 28 of the Servlet 2.5 spec (pathInfo should be null). > > Looks like it.
