Re: examples in tomcat 3.1 not working

Posted by Gael Stehagen <ga...@epk.ericsson.se>.
I had to set the home in server.xml to absolute path of tomcat to get
the examples to work. However I can't get the
request.getPathTranslated() to return any value if I run the example
snoop. It returns null...

Summary:
Try to set the home attribute.
