The same syntax works for servlets, JSP pages, and HTML pages. The secret is in how
the URL
you specify is interpreted.
What you want to do is map your servlet to a particular URL pattern (see the Servlet
API 2.2
specification for more details on the options). In general, you can define a servlet
to
match a particular URL (relative to the context path) like this:
/catalog
or you can say that all URLs that have a particular filename extension match a specific
servlet. That is actually how JSP pages get handled -- everything that ends with
".jsp" is
handed to the JSP servlet for processing.
How you define the mapping from URLs to servlets is currently specific to each servlet
engine, but is standardized in the 2.2 servlet spec. In the mean time, you can
practice with
the JSWDK 1.0 servlet engine by using the WEB-INF/mapping.properties file to establish
these
mappings.
