Re: jetty and servlet mappings

Hi

I am having some problems with mapping my servlet to the root path of
the server. For some reason my servlet ends up under a path which
contains my servlet war files name instead of under the path that I
specify in my web.xml file

e.g.

file: simple-servlet.war (created with maven)
web.xml:

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>ModelOneServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

this mapping requires an url with the path:

   http://localhost/simple-servlet/

while I want it to map to

   http://localhost/

(When I worked with Resin a couple of years ago, I seem to remember that
this mapping would map to the root path...)

Can anybody tell me why it does not map to the root path like I would
prefer it to do?
