References: <39879799.D4247A77@stt.com.hk> <3988539C.FF6DC739@eng.sun.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Rating: locus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N Forgive me if this is FAQ: I've tried to search through past messages of the list and at the Tomcat info sites I'm aware of, and haven't found an answer: How do I invoke a servlet and pass it "extra path info" (which would be available within the servlet through the HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() method)? When I attempt to do this thus: GET http://server.example.com/mycontext/MyServlet/foo/bar?parm=val (where I've defined the servlet MyServlet in the web.xml file of the mycontext context, and expect request.getPathInfo() to return the String "/foo/bar"), I get "404 /mycontext/MyServlet/foo/bar File Not Found" as a result. What am I missing?
