Problem with URL handling

Apparently Glassfish v2 (SJSAS 9.02) does not seem to be able to handle requests with a slash character embedded in the URL.

For example, http://host/app/form/form_name%2Fwith_slash

'%2F' should decode to a '/' character. Instead of performing a lookup, Glassfish drops the request.

The application that I'm using (Remedy Mid-Tier) maps a form servlet with the url path "/form/*". It then interprets the contents at the end of the path as a form name parameter. Therefore, any forms names with a slash character cause problems.

So, does anyone have a suggestion on how to configure glassfish or work around the issue?

Thanks!
