How to stop trailing slash redirects?

[Rob Nikander]

Hi,

I would like requests to a webapp to have paths that look like this:

    http://server/myapp <http://server/myapp>   not:  http://server/myapp/ 
<http://server/myapp/>

But for some reason, Tomcat keeps redirecting the 1st to the 2nd. I’m aware of 
the attribute `mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled` (on the Context), but setting 
that to “false” is not helping.  My web.xml looks like:

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern></url-pattern>
        <url-pattern>/other</url-pattern>
        …

What is going on? How do I stop the redirects?

thanks,
Rob
