Ok.

That seems appropriate to me.

With or without the '?'?

Actually, this makes sense to me: the default mapping for the JSP
servlet is "*.jsp". Your path doesn't end in .jsp, and therefore does
not match the url-pattern.

That's strange: pathinfo should be everything /after/ the URL of the
resource that handled the request. I would have expected "" (or null)
for path-info.

path-translated will only return a value if path-info has a value. It's
interesting what Resul has chosen to return for the path-translated
value: the "base name" of the .jsp file on the filesystem.

This URL actually does have a path-info string (relative to "/test.jsp").

I'm not sure how Tomcat is supposed to divine that /test.jsp/test is, in
fact, a request to /test.jsp in disguise.

I think you need to add a url-mapping for the JSP servlet. Maybe
something like '/test.jsp/*'?
