I don't think the above mapping is valid. To quote from the servlet spec: "In the Web application deployment descriptor, the following syntax is used to define mappings: "* A string beginning with a '/' character and ending with a '/*' suffix is used for path mapping. "* A string beginning with a '*.' prefix is used as an extension mapping. "* A string containing only the '/' character indicates the "default" servlet of the application. In this case the servlet path is the request URI minus the context path and the path info is null. "* All other strings are used for exact matches only." As I understand it, the asterisks are /not/ wildcards; they're just markers in the syntax. The <url-pattern> above falls under the second bullet, but there certainly can't be any extensions that have a slash in them. If your URLs end in .cfm, just remove the /* from the <url-pattern>. If you actually have URLs with a / following the .cfm, you may need to make that servlet the default one. Note that several servlet containers silently implement "enhancements" to the spec that simply cause confusion and limit portability. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
