If you had the time Erik would you explain your method of arranging JSPs by the actor, seemed a beautiful approach.

Jim, "actor" is precisely what I meant! It goes /context/controller/actor/usecase (in my case) Sorry I didn't say that correctly. But as you point out, I think it doesn't change the point of the post, that I need to manually make sure the name of the controller servlet gets into the hyperlinks. I wonder if a mapping of "/services" work better than "/services/*". Haven't tried that . . .
