Synopsis: 
Exception on wildcard URL servlet mapping

Description:
I am unable to use tomcat 3.2.1 with PathInfo and Servlets. I 
tried with Apache and the mod_jserv-Connector (from 
Tomcat 3.2.1).

When specifing a servlet mapping like

..
 <servlet-name>net.xx.yy.myservlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/servlet/net.xx.yy.myservlet</url-pattern>
..

in web.xml I get a 404 from Tomcat when accessing URLs
like
   /servlet/net.xx.yy.myservlet/anyinformation

When specifing a mapping like 

..
 <servlet-name>net.xx.yy.myservlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/servlet/net.xx.yy.myservlet/*</url-pattern>
..
 
the response is like this:

Internal Servlet Error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't happen - classname is null, who added this ?

        at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.init(Compiled Code)
        at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Compiled Code)
       ....

As I guess every time a program says "this can't happen"
a bug is involved, I felt invited to report it like
this.
