Hello Folks,

 Got a problem which I been trying to figure out how to resolve this issue. One of the guys have a virtualhost and he put his web.xml in his WEB-INF directory. However, he could not get the url to work like this:

http://kinnierconsulting.com/Controller?GotoPage=home&hasFlash=true&isFirst=true

It works with this: http://kinnierconsulting.com/servlet/Controller?GotoPage=home&hasFlash=true&isFirst=true

So...how do I get his url to work by invoking the servlet without the /servlet/* in it?

It is setup with 1.3.29 with Tomcat 4.1.30.

Server XML:

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
<!-- Define the Tomcat Stand-Alone Service -->
    <Service name="Tomcat-Standalone">
    <!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080
    <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"/>

-->

    </Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>

  His web.xml is defined as follows:

 I made a comment to him about the invoker part in his web.xml being defined as /servlet which make it work as it is, but he want it as what he wanted.
