extension mapping with tomcat

["Perez, Bill" <bi...@TransCore.com>]

i can't seem to get extension mapping to work in tomcat within VAJ 3.5.

here is my web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd">

<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>
            dispatcher
        </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            webwork.servlets.Dispatcher
        </servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>
            dispatcher
        </servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>
            *.action
        </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

is this not supported in tomcat or something????

Tomcat supports extension mappings quite well -- the example application
uses extension mapping with the "*.do" extension.  I'm not familiar enough
with the VAJ integration, though, to know what might be going on here.
