I tried using *.jsp/* and this threw a parsing error, the webapp refused to run load. *.jsp* ignored all jsp files. I think other servlet containers are using a globbing that is assumed to be the complete expression, which in regex would be .*\.jsp, whereas it appears that tomcat is taking it in what a regex would phrase as .*\.jsp$, ie it is enforcing the end of the string as the end of the candidate string. If this behaviour cannot be changed, I have to change servlet containers, so I'm eager to find out one way or the other if tomcat can accommodate this. -- *Have Blog, Will Travel: blog.teledyn.com* *A Serviceable Substitute: post.teledyn.com*
