You could implement a Filter that wraps the request for these servlets. The wrapped request would override the getPathInfo method and perform the reverse-engineering of the path info you describe above. This would allow you to "patch" your servlets all at once without actually modifying their code, and without going through the backflips of an alternate URI encoding. You could also log a bug and see what happens. As Bill points out, nobody has been motivated to fix this issue. If you log a bug and get some feedback, perhaps you could fix it yourself and submit a patch (if you're motivated). Or, maybe some other kind soul will submit a patch for it. Since you are motivated to have it work for your application, you are a good candidate to fix it :) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkpqCj4ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDBTQCfVb01DUBJmtCSyamIWgaGEZ1F ab8An2uVpIy8L4gxpvqTDM5XRN0soWcn =JC+6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
