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

[Mike Traum]

Ahhh - you're behind Apache - I'm sure that's the issue. You would think
this would work:
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13wwb

But, everything I've seen says you need to put:
JkMount /wwb/servlet/* ajp13wwb

I think this is because url patterns are very basic. The *.do works
because that will match anything ending in .do. But, if you use the
wildcard at the end, it will only match anything that starts with the
full text of the beginning.

hth,
