Could you explain to us, why you want to get rid of the trailing slash ?

But what Len is saying (and I verified that he's right), is that URL Rewriting will not help in eliminating the trailing slash because it's the browser that does the URL translation. I tried URL rewriting with this pattern to test your case: <rule> <note>Testing trailing slash.</note> <from>(.*)/</from> <to>(.*)</to> </rule> When I tried http://localhost:8080 , instead of http://localhost:8080/ it didn't work, just showed a blank screen. I had to delete the URL rewriting rule, only after that it worked. > If the containing page's URL looks like a file when it's > really a directory, the browser will get them wrong. > -- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Now that's room service!
