> You need to append a "/" to the action URI
That solved the problem, thanks a lot :)
However, my original question is still unanswered:
Is it the intent of the spec that the container should hide all static resources when mapping a servlet to "/"?
The Servlet 3.0 spec says the following:
[i]A string containing only the ’/’ character indicates the "default" servlet of the
application. In this case the servlet path is the request URI minus the context path
and the path info is null.[/i]
It does not mention anything about static resource, however.
