>Wouldn't '/p/*' imply a match for URLs that contain /p/ 
That is what it's supposed to match, from the servlet spec. 

>(e.g.  http://server/webapp/p/securelist.do). 
This is authenticated, as expected.

The problem, as I stated, is that this url also forces authentication ->
but it should not... notice that there isn't a /p/ path present, but
there is a path that starts with a 'p'

http://server/webapp/public/list.do 

> This would explain why all other URLs
> fail to get authentication... they are missing the /p/* pattern
The point I was making is that the /p/* pattern seems to [incorrectly]
match anything that starts with a lowercase p rather than
/p/anythinghere

http://server/webapp/Public/list.do  -> public access, no auth 
http://server/webapp/ublic/list.do  -> public access, no auth


>Why not try /public/*
Because what I want is that for all requests under /p/ to be 'protected'
and anything else to be publicly available.
