Tomcat's built-in servlet that handles all static content. It's defined in the global conf/web.xml, and thus included in all deployed webapps: <servlet> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class> ...snip... </servlet> It has this mapping: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> so it gets to process anything that doesn't match any other mapping. Just add this to your webapp's WEB-INF/web.xml: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/play/sports/includes/*</url-pattern> <servlet-mapping> - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
