Hello again Craig, Well, after going back into my filter setup again, I see that for Tomcat 4.0.1, i have the same setup that I describe in my example below (e.g. a url-pattern of "/files/*" for the <filter-mapping> element in web.xml) but the call to getServletPath() inside that filter returns "/files/foo.jpg" and getPathInfo() returns null for a request of "/context/files/foo.jpg".
Where's the error? (me, Tomcat, the spec, or all of the above) :-) russ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig R.
