Not relative to ../webapp but relative to (in this case) .../webapps/atom hence I should use the url path relative to http://localhost:8080/atom which, as you say is /* So that my code would pick up http://localhost:8080/atom/AlmostAnything Thanks. That makes sense.... and helps (I think) When I deploy (upload) to my web visible server, the web.xml file will remain the same! I'm going to write this up. I'll post to this list and would appreciate any feedback. I want to start looking at restricting access now, but I'll start a new thread for that!
