</snip> After some further research, it appears the issue I'm encountering is known since 2007 by IBM at least:
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21259282 While reviewing the JSR-369 history, at jcp.org, it seems that this is since servlet spec 2.3, perhaps even earlier. Does anyone know if the email spec-sub...@jcp.org is the correct email which I can submit a proposal for updating the JSR-369? I think the section 3.6 of the servlet spect should be changed from: "The getPathTranslated method computes the real path of the pathInfo of the request." to: The getPathTranslated method computes the real path of the servletPath and pathInfo of the request. If the pathInfo is not valid, then compute the real path of the servletPath. Since the requestURI is comprise of /contextPath/servletPath/pathInfo. I think the above would be more accurate to translate the requested path to a static file on the file system as I've seen by various cases, and possibly IBM's too.
