Hi, I have been hinting at rewriting the main Catalina mapper for Tomcat 5.
The proposal is designed to improve performance, avoid generating uneeded garbage String objects, and optimize the welcome files processing. The following changes are proposed: - Expose the decoded URI MessageBytes in the main Request interface of Catalina, so that the mapper doesn't have to pay the b2c cost - Implement the new mappers as a separate set of classes in j-t-c/util/../mapper The new mappers will use exclusively bytes to match contexts/servlets and will rewrite the original URIs to handle welcome files without sending a redirect back to the client (in most cases).
