Com.businessobjects.webutil.ForwardServlet

Question

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Not Found Servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.businessobjects.webutil.ForwardServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>url</param-name>
            <param-value>/httperror_404.htm</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>4</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
The above section exists in our InfoView  web.xml on our dev system but not on our prod system.  We have been having some issues with SSO failing on our prod system and were wondering if the lack of this section may have something to do with those issues. 
Can anyone tell me what this section is for/what does it do?
Thanks

Hello David.
The webutil jar file that includes the com.businessobjects.webutil package is used internally by some of the Business Objects applications such as Inforview and the Central Management Console.  It is not made a part of the Business Objects SDK so it is not meant to be used in developing custom applications.  For this reason, how to use it in custom applications is not documented anywhere.
Regards.
