Apparently, I am creating infinite sub-directories from a web crawler's
perspective due to a wildcard I have in my web.xml. I have a single jsp
file that dynamically handles all requests to the directory
mysite.com/deals/*. The goal here was for the jsp to handle
mysite.com/deals/some-deal-name-here. However, crawlers apparently are
also picking up on mysite.com/deals/deals/some-deal-name-herewhich
unfortunately looks like duplicate content from a web crawler
perspective. This is not good for search ranking. Is there a way to
configure my web.xml in order to stop this from happening?
*Here's what I have in my web.xml:*
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>deal</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*/deals/**</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>deal</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/deal.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
*Here's what I tried to fix it:*
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>deal</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*/deals/[a-z0-9_A-Z-]**</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>deal</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/deal.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
Any ideas for other ways to potentially configure this?
Thanks,
Phil
