Extra path info supported in Tomcat 3.1?

[William Hovingh <wh...@pcusa.org>]

Forgive me if this is FAQ: I've tried to search through past
messages of the list and at the Tomcat info sites I'm aware
of, and haven't found an answer:

How do I invoke a servlet and pass it "extra path info"
(which would be available within the servlet through the
HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() method)?

When I attempt to do this thus:

GET
http://server.example.com/mycontext/MyServlet/foo/bar?parm=val

(where I've defined the servlet MyServlet in the web.xml
file of the mycontext context, and expect
request.getPathInfo() to return the String "/foo/bar"), I
get "404 /mycontext/MyServlet/foo/bar File Not Found" as a
result.

What am I missing?

URL rewriting problem

[Raymund <sc...@noell.de>]

Hi,

i have a problem with url rewriting when i use tomcat and apache.
all jsp files go to tomcat, but if someone deactivates the cookies the
sessionid is encoded in the url. after that my apache didn't recognize
that the called file is a jsp file and i get a error (404).

is there a solution i can use.

thanks

You're exactly right about how getPathInfo() works.

Unfortunately, you've not yet gotten Tomcat configured
to run your servlet.

If your context directory isn't under Tomcat's
'webapps', you'll need to explicitly list it in
the server.xml file.  You'll then probably need
to create an entry in your context's web.xml for
your servlet.   In any event, you'll need to restart
Tomcat to get it to pick up all these changes.

yes, as it says in the howto: "you need to insert the full path to
isapi_redirect.dll"

Tomcat/PWS integration

[Manish Shah <ma...@enteract.com>]

Hey guys,


I followed the instructions for the PWS/Tomcat integration, but I'm still
having problems serving up JSPs/Servlets. Two questions:

1) In the uriworker.properties file, what exactly do I need to serve up
any of the jsp/servlets in the examples directory?

2) It says I need to make a "Filter DLLs" key in my registry, fine.
However, what is the String data, I'm assuming the String value is the
list of dll's?
