Hi,
Thanks Nic.
I was wondering that the Specs are silent on this type of facility being
provided by the containers. So are the servlet containers *required* to
provide this facility or is it an optional facility which they may provide.
Is this type of facility really required today(2.2 and onwards) or is it
just a frill provided by the servlet containers reminiscent of the old days.
If the container does provide this facility, then by what I understand, it
translates into the fact that servlet container has an in built
ServletContext mapped to '/servlet'.
Regds,
Gokul
