There's no effective difference, but the HTTP RFC requires the trailing slash when a specific resource is not in the URL. That's why the browser adds the slash automatically to the host name URL, and the server sends a 302 back when the URL does not target a specific resource. As you might expect, Tomcat does follow the HTTP RFC. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
