I had no response but found a workaround to get rid of the trailing 
/dspace/ in the dspace URL . (quick & dirty)

In [dspace:/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps] I renamed the "ROOT" 
directory to "ROOT.ORIG" and then created a symlink from 
~/webapps/dspace/ to ~/webapps/ROOT/ Voila. If this is a clear violation 
of 'whatever' I'd appreciate it if you can point it out to me. Server is 
up and running. Solaris 10 running of a Siemens Fujitsu box, and using 
mod_jk to redirect queries from apache to jakarata-tomcat. In my 
experience it wasn't so "clear cut" to get the entire installation 
working on a server running Solaris. Most of the dependencies had to be 
built from source, which had their own problems. Now to start 
harvesting. Thanks again for all assistance. Much appreciated. Take 
care, I am unsubscribing.
