Hi Thanks a lot for clarifying that. At the bottom you say: the servlet spec. Im reading "The J2EE 1.4 Tutorial", for Sun Java System Application Server Platform. Isnt Tomcat the referential project for this technologi?
Can you please be so kind and explain what the servlet spec. has to do with configuring the deployment descriptor. Could you give me a link to the servlet spec?

Correct. Wildcards are not supported for mapping paths. Read the servlet spec for more details. > If I try to map the servlet so that it seems like a jsp-page > <url-pattern>/foxer.jsp</url-pattern>, it doesn't work at all. Also correct. There is a server-wide mapping for *.jsp (wild cards are supported for extension mapping) in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml > In the book I also read that I should be able to access the servlet even if > it's not mapped up in web.xml. http://www.mymachine.no/servlet/foxer Ofcourse > this does also not work.
