John, thanks so much, this works. I added this as the filter:
<filter>
<filter-name>forwardFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.markww.usermaps.server.ForwardFilter</filter-
class>
<init-param>
<param-name>target</param-name>
<param-value>UserMaps.jsp</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>forwardFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
test is working here:
http://usermaps.appspot.com/
just forwards all urls like:
http://usermaps.appspot.com/abc
to my gwt jsp project file. Spent a day trying to get this to work,
thanks again,
Mark
