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

[Mike Traum]

Max,
So, to recap, in web.xml under the 'wwb' context you have :
        <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>

and you go to /wwb/expresso/frame.jsp (make sure the wwb is there) -> Setup ->  
Create/Verify Database Structure & Perform Initial Setup

and get a 404? It works here on Tomcat 4.1.24:
1. what version of expresso are you using? 
2. what's the <Context /> entry in tomcat's server.xml (in $CATALINA_HOME/conf)
3. what link is 'Create/Verify Database Structure & Perform Initial Setup' trying to go to?
