I'm afraid I don't have any simple guesses as to what to change. It appears there are multiple forwards occurring and it may be the "multiple" that is the root cause of this behavior. You can experiment with changes to see what happens, or try to run tomcat in a debugger to see if you can determine what "((HttpServletRequest) request).getServletPath()" is returning and why it doesn't have the expected '/'. If you want to try the latter, source for Tomcat 3.3.1 or 3.3.1.a can be found here:
http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-3/archive/ An alternative to debugging is to create a "classes" directory under "lib/container" and extract the source for PageContextImpl into the package appropriate subdirectory. Then add "System.out.println()s", and compile. When Tomcat is run, the PageContextImpl under "classes" will take precedence over the one in jasper.jar, allowing you to gather clues.
