Please file an issue in Bugzilla. http://tomcat.apache.org/bugreport.html#How_to_write_a_bug_report Can you attach to your report a simple web application, with source code, that reproduces the issue? Two questions: a) Is it specific to the context root (empty string) mapping? b) Is it specific to annotations? (Does it work if you specify the mapping in web.xml)? BTW, support for such mappings was added to Tomcat 7 rather late (in 7.0.28 - bug 53356 ). Apparently they are no so widely used.
