Is the "help" directory an actual directory, or a symlink to a directory? > This is different than what i've seen with Apache httpd and I'm > assuming it is just a config change, but I haven't been able to track > it down yet. Tomcat should redirect the first URL to the second (just like httpd does), at least if you don't have a servlet-mapping for '/*', '/help', or '/help/*'. If you have any of these, then it is the responsibility of your servlet to handle both forms of the URL. > > Can someone point me in the right direction? > > Thanks, > Len > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
