I guess s/Java/Tomcat/ in several places above. Support for multiple <url-pattern>s did not exist in old versions of Servlet Specification, so only one of the patterns would work. Support for <dispatcher> also did not exist in old versions, but "REQUEST" is the default value here, so there is no difference. You can validate your web.xml file against DTD or schema it uses in any decent XML editor. (You can enable validation of web.xml in any version of Tomcat 7 and later. E.g., by setting org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/systemprops.html#Specification When validation is enabled, Tomcat will refuse to deploy an application with broken web.xml ) Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
