Sorry about that @Bauke
I don't want to "overpost", just because I don't want to bog this
thread down with unneccessary information. I'll try to hyper-condense it.
problem: I have a URL request that needs to eventually find it's way to a specific Java object hosted by Tomcat: eg. /admin ---> com.foo.a
solution path:
1. Do nothing and hope for magic URL parsing by Tomcat. Result: unsuccessfull
2. Create a Servlet-Mapping within the web.xml of the Tomcat server. Result: unsuccessfull
3. Create a Filter mapping within the web.xml of the Tomcat server. Result: unsuccessfull
4. Create a new Context within the Tomcat server. Result: unsuccessfull
5. *new attempt* I'm changing focus to looking at the uriworkermap.properties definitions. Perhaps there's a way of defining the mapping there..
thanks again for any suggestions!
