Hi there,

I'm trying to understand what has changed w.r.t. Tomcat 6/7 and
returning path parameters from various calls to the HTTPServletRequest
methods. In particular, I'd like to understand which of the four
methods:

 * getServletPath
 * getContextPath
 * getPathInfo
 * getRequestURI

return so-called 'path parameters' across various Tomcat versions. It
appears that something changed around 6.0.33, although I can only find
the following reference in the changelog:

"Improve handling of URLs with path parameters and prevent incorrect
404 responses that could occur when path parameters were present.
(kkolinko)"

Is there any more formal information about this change? Frameworks
that utilise URL-based resource resolution will break if, for example,
;jsessionid is all-of-a-sudden returned from these calls when
previously they were removed.

Regards,
Paul
