Hi,

So the app worked for the past 2 years without new deployment? Recently, the Jetty web server got upgraded to 9.4.45... It might be more strict regarding servlet 3.1 compliance in this area? Can you share more snippet of code?

Hi again,

Let me know if you can update the app in a way it does not define the incorrect mapping...  I hope it is not too complicated, 

Thanks!
