Well, that's rather what made me ask the question Chris. It seems to me also that if you have a mapping like that then things are going to be a bit confusing. On the other hand, the API specification is *very* specific on the subject. I think we're going to have to wait for James or another member of Servlet-Experts on this one. >Hope this doesn't muddy the waters... Of course not, good to have your input.
