Hmm.  This is pretty basic functionality which does work.  I'll need more information
to understand why its not working for you.  Maybe consult the catalina log files.

I could fix the problem by changing my web.xml

    <context-param>
        <param-name>web.forwardSlashCharacter</param-name>
        <param-value>!</param-value>
    </context-param>

Ah.  I keep forgetting about that Tomcat security setting.  I have a similar problem
with proxies that re-encode all %2Fs as /.  Glad to hear that you are operational.


Alternatively you could tell Tomcat to allow embedded slashes or you could switch to
parameterized urls (web.mountParameters = false).
