Bug ID: 64109
Summary: Bad handling of special "" URI mapping rule
Product: Tomcat 9
Version: 9.0.30
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Servlet
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: -----
I'm checking Servlet 4 specification, 12.2, "Specification of Mappings" chapter
(when working on Pax Web).
I know this rule is a bit confusing:
> The empty string ("") is a special URL pattern that exactly maps to the
> application's context root, i.e., requests of the form
> http://host:port/<context-root>/. In this case the path info
> is "/" and the servlet path and context path is empty string ("").
But I see that `org.apache.catalina.mapper.Mapper#internalMapExactWrapper()`
works fine - even if I have "/c1" context and "" path mapped to some servlet,
`internalMapExactWrapper()` sets proper values:
// Special handling for Context Root mapped servlet
mappingData.pathInfo.setString("/");
mappingData.wrapperPath.setString("");
// This seems wrong but it is what the spec says...
mappingData.contextPath.setString("");
However, inside actual servlet,
`org.apache.catalina.connector.Request#getContextPath()` returns "/c1" as
context path even if underlying
org.apache.catalina.connector.Request#mappingData contains proper (though
confusing according to specification) values.
Is this intended? It could be that JavaDoc for
`javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest#getContextPath()` is _better_ and just
says nothing about the special mapping rule from specification chapter 12.2...
