Description

On tomcat, the static .wgt export files cannot be served up properly from /export/* as the default servlet is disabled by placing our main filter operating on /*.

Basically to enable static downloads on Tomcat requires either a custom file servlet or a rethink of the application structure, or some advanced web.xml configuration to get around the issue.
