> And "" is supposed to be root not "/" according to the specs. Don't think so. The empty string is used only to specify the path of the default context, not pattern matching for a servlet or filter within a context. For global matching in servlets and filters, you must use "/*"; to specify the default servlet you use "/". Using a url-pattern of "/" for a filter doesn't seem to make any sense, since there is no concept in the spec of a "default filter". - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
