Help with url-pattern in web.xml

["Press, Michael" <Mi...@Artesia.com>]

Where can I find the definition for valid entries in the url-pattern element
of the servlet-mapping in web.xml?  I can't find much in the tomcat (4.0.1)
documentation.
 
Specificallly, I want to enter these mappings:
 
    *.action --> (servlet A)
    creator/*.action -> (servlet B)
    librarian/*.action -> (servlet C)
 
The first pattern works fine.  When I use
<url-pattern>creator/*.action</url-pattern> or even
<url-pattern>creator*.action</url-pattern>, I get the error "Invalid
<url-pattern> creator*.action in servlet mapping"
 
Help with this specific problem is appreciated, but I'm also interested in
finding a reference for web.xml - a document or DTD that defines/describes
the possible URL patterns.
 
Thanks
