[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-2982) servlet-mapping url patterns may need "/" prepended

["Greg Wilkins (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2982?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12482062 ] 

Greg Wilkins commented on GERONIMO-2982:
----------------------------------------

I have not found the reference for this... but I recall that the mapping of foo to /foo was added to the spec to support backwards
compatibility to 2.2 webapps

So I think it is reasonable.

> Apparently if we find a servlet-mapping url-pattern that doesn't start with / or * we should treat it as if it starts with /, such as by prepending / before further processing.  I haven't tracked down the spec support for this behavior and could use some advice from greg on whether its actually reasonable.
