Beginner question - revised

[Gabe Mahoney <ma...@pacbell.net>]

Hey all, I sent a mail earlier about having trouble with configuring tomcat
to handle extension types other than .jsp. The problem is not exactly as I
thought. I have modified web.xml so that type .rt is now handled by tomcat.
My .rt file is just a jsp page with a different extension. I get the error
below whenever I access a .rt file in my context, whether the .rt file
exists or not! Which seems really weird to me...Thoughts?

Error: 500
Location: /djmalloc/foo.rt
