>From the servlet api javadoc:
java.lang.String getPathInfo()
Returns any extra path information associated with the URL the
client sent when it made this request.
java.lang.String getPathTranslated()
Returns any extra path information after the servlet name but
before the query string, and translates it to a real path.
The extra path information is the path information appended to the url
after the servlet name. For instance, if your servlet is accessed as
/web-info/MyServlet, this url has extra path information:
http://www.server.com/web-info/MyServlet/here/is/extra/path/infomation
