I'm using Tomcat 3.2.1 with it's own http server.
It's pretty simple to demonstrate... basicly, try and get the follwing
code to print out something other then "null"
<%= request.getPathInfo() %>
I can't seem to do it with a jsp, but have used it many times in servlets.
I have tried this on both NT 4.0 and FreeBSD 4.3 with the same results...
thanks,
