Paul and Pid
i would suggest directing all requests to SearchServerServlet e.g. default servlet <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> then the SearchServerServlet will do a request.getRequestURI and then do regex on the Request URI and SearchServerServlet will redirect or forward from there allowing reg expressions in url-pattern is a much needed upgrade request for the next TC version https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Tomcat%207 (expect blowback if this feature is not specifically addressed in Servlet 3.0 spec) Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
