Just faking it won't work. The container has to know to do a look up on the servlet mappings as well as lookup on the directory where your index is being done, the latter is how a trad web server works and therefore how most container implementers did it. > Sorry about the .jsp/.html thing..

As I said in my last mail, newer versions of containers should be doing this now (or soon). It was flagged on the spec team list after Jason came up with the hack. > I'll try it again with the new version of Tomcat when I get a > chance. > Thanks again, Consult the thread I referred to (it was earlier this month) because we were talking about whether latest Tomcat can do it or not (I can't remember what was said, I don't use Tomcat myself). If you're brave and adventurous you could try GNU Paperclips (my own servlet container). It's in ALPHA at the moment but you can check it out of CVS by going here: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/paperclips/ Nic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
