I got your code in, and it compiles, but I don't understand how I 
configure the url-mapping you refer to.  Could you point me to some docs 
for that?  I looked through the web.xml files (both the server one, and 
the one for the app), but couldn't find anything about url-mapping or 
filters that seemed to apply to this.  It may be there, but I don't know 
enough about it to recognize it.

Thanks!
Dave
