Sorry for not responding earlier, things have been a little hectic this week. > I just got try it today and here is what happened: I just tried the same thing, with no problems. > I made this class: I don't see a package clause in your code, nor are the imports shown. Here's the entire code I used, including the poor man's logger, System.out: package mypackage; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import org.apache.catalina.Globals; public class StaticContentServlet extends org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet { protected String getRelativePath(HttpServletRequest request) { // Are we being processed by a RequestDispatcher.include()? if (request.getAttribute(Globals.INCLUDE_REQUEST_URI_ATTR) != null) { String result = (String)request.getAttribute(Globals.INCLUDE_PATH_INFO_ATTR); if (result == null) { result = (String)request.getAttribute(Globals.INCLUDE_SERVLET_PATH_ATTR); } if (result == null || result.equals("")) result = "/"; System.out.println("StaticContentServlet returning " + result); return result; } // No, extract the desired path directly from the request. String result = request.getPathInfo(); if (result == null) { result = request.getServletPath(); } else { result = request.getServletPath() + result; } if (result == null || result.equals("")) result = "/"; System.out.println("StaticContentServlet returning " + result); return result; } } > I added it to my web.xml file: Mine is almost the same, with the addition of a listings param: <servlet> <servlet-name>docs</servlet-name> <servlet-class>mypackage.StaticContentServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>listings</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> just so the /docs mapping would do something useful. (The servlet mappings are identical to yours.) Referencing the URLs: http://localhost:8080/sample/docs http://localhost:8080/sample/docs/test.txt got me this result in stdout: StaticContentServlet returning /docs StaticContentServlet returning /docs/test.txt and the expected directory listings and the text file contents in the browser window. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
