[Opensource] <servlet-mapping> in Tomcat Version > 4.1.19

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting the servelst to run on my new deployment at
eapps.com. The server is running Tomcat V4.1.29. I cannot get DBCreate to
run. I can load expresso/frame.jsp fine but get a "Object not found" Error
404.

I read somewhere that the default servelt mapping was removed from Tomcat
versions greater than V4.1.19 (if I am not mistaken) and one has to
declare the mapping explicity for each servlet. I have the following my
web.xml file:

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>DBCreate</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.jcorporate.expresso.services.servlet.DBCreate</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>DBCreate</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/DBCreate</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

I have my app loaded in a Tomcat context called /wwb. Any ideas on what
I'm doing wrong here?

What I eventually did was put in the following mapping:
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>DBCreate</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

This caused the DBCreate screen to fill each of the expresso webpage
frames. I was then able to run DBCreate and initialise my database. I then
went back and restored the original servlet-mapping. All of my servlets
still won't run. It seems that I can call all the .do controllers fine
including DBMaint.do, but the servlets that don't have a struts definition
can't be found.

Thanks for the help,
Max
