From what I can tell this is supposed to be the default behavior, but I assume one of the various setting changes I made to harden our installation has disabled the slash conversion.  I have tried removing all the hardening settings but still not luck.

Please post specifics. Important details such as the following are required:

1. Type of url-pattern you are mapping
2. What component is interpreting the URL (and which flavor of URL it's 
reading)

Less important: your Tomcat version

You may be able to fix this with URL rewriting but my guess is that some 
component in the product isn't reading the URL correctly from Tomcat.
