Re: [cu-dev] leading slash in @WebServlet in TCK tests

Hi,

Just wondering, what did the commit comment said that removed that leading slash?

Hi,

I'm looking at the TCK tests for Concurrent and one of the interesting things is removing leading slash in the @WebServlet annotation. Even the existing ones were removed.

E.g.

@WebServlet("/ManagedThreadFactoryDefinitionServlet")

was changed to

@WebServlet("ManagedThreadFactoryDefinitionServlet")

I looked at the spec, but it tells nothing. All examples contain the leading slash.

https://github.com/jakartaee/servlet/blob/master/spec/src/main/asciidoc/servlet-spec-body.adoc#811-webservlet

Can you point me to some place, which explains, why it should work without it? I know, that it is not required for @Path, but it is a different spec.

Thank you

Petr
