| Martin, Bart,
| 
| this is correct if you want to change the servlet path in OpenCms, you have
| to do two things:
| 
| 1) Modifiy the servlet-mapping in the web.xml as Bart did.
| 2) Adapt the path in the opencms.properties "url_prefix_http" to the new
| servlet path.
| 
| Why is this second change required?
| OpenCms is able to generate static exports of the website created by the
| system. Since it it possible to export only a part of the site to the
| webserver, the links between the exported and not-exported parts of the
| pages must be modified during the export process. This mechanism is also
| used for the preview function of the OpenCms workpalce (which did not work
| after Bart's changes).
| 
| The "url_prefix" parameters defines, where the OpenCms can find either the
| dynamically genrated pages (url_prefix_http), the static exported ones
| (url_prefix_export) or those useing https (url_prefix_https).
| 
| Please note: If you modify the servlet path from
| "/[applicationname]/[servlet]/" to "/[applicationname]/", you cannot use the
| static export with its default location (which is inside the webapplication
| directory), as all requests in this webapplication are now forwared to the
| OpenCms servlet.
