[cobalt-developers] Servlet mapping

[Thomas Inglis <taminglis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Can you point me in the right place to solve a
problem, I've spent quite a while looking and feel I
found the solution but it doesnt seem to work.

I have a default installation of apache/tomcat on a
RaQ4. What I need is to invoke my custom servlet
without the tomcat /servlet/ context mapping. Override
in web.xml I hear you say!

My conf is at the bottom of this mail. All works fine
but only with this /servlet/ mapping.

It just wont accept it from the document root. Anyone
please??? :)
