[C2] StringIndexOutOfBounds exception

[Ross Burton <ro...@mail.com>]

Hi,

Fed up with Tomcat 3.x, I took the plunge and installed Tomcat 4M2. 
Following the instructions on how to install Tomcat + Cocoon
("./build.sh .... install" didn't work, btw) I managed to install C2,
and get another exception.  This time even earlier!

The offending line is looking at the URI passed from Tomcat - which
appears to be an empty string.  Is this a known bug with Tomcat 4M2?  Or
is  everything broken?
