My default-web.xml (in CFusionMX/runtime/servers/default/SERVER-INF/)
contains a servlet mapping for the ServletInvoker servlet with a url
pattern of "/servlet/*". After commenting this out, IIS returns a 404.
AFAIK, most servlet containers contain a servlet mapping like this by
default, so any servlets in the servlets directory can be called directly
without having to set up a specifc mapping.
What I don't understand is how IIS knew not only that a request for
/servlet was destined for a servlet container, but it knew which one. There
is no servlet virtual directory and I don't recognise any ISAPI filter
installed that should do this either.
