The problem comes from /webapps/myapps/web-inf/web.xml file. I
need to use basic authentication to protect the my apps:

<login-config>
      <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
      <realm-name>Tomcat</realm-name>
    </login-config>

    <security-constraint>
      <web-resource-collection>
         <web-resource-name>collection1</web-resource-name>
         <url-pattern>/servlets/*</url-pattern>
         <url-pattern>/jsp/*</url-pattern>
         <url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>
	 <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
         <http-method>GET</http-method>
         <http-method>POST</http-method>
      </web-resource-collection>

      <auth-constraint>
         <role-name>tomcat</role-name>
	 <role-name>role1</role-name>
      </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>

This part worked for tomcat3.1 rc1 (4/10) , but when I put it into
tomcat3.1 4/18 release, it will automatically add an extra "/servlets/ to
URL. If I remove <url-pattern>/servlets/*</url-pattern>, it will fix that
problem, but the authentication does not work. 

Anyone has a idea how to do the authetication with this. 

Thanks
