Re: trouble with static html using 5.5.2
I second the advice on reading the spec. Here's a link to it (version 2.4):

Probably not. Read on:

That's probably not the pattern you meant; it will fire the "baz"
servlet for *any* request to your webapp that isn't otherwise mapped.
It's known as the "default servlet."
Try it: request
http://{your server}/baz/something
http://{your server}/baz/something/else
... ad infinitum (and ad nauseam)...

There's no need to guess: all of this and more is explained in the
servlet spec (and any worthwhile servlet text), as I mentioned in my
previous message. ;) For example, your mapping question is explained in
"SRV.11.2 Specification of Mappings."
Here's a hint: your web.xml should at least include a prologue, which
specifies the servlet spec 2.3 DTD (for Tomcat 4.x and earlier) or the
2.4 schema (for Tomcat 5.x and later).

Do I have : to create some sort of mapping entry in : webapps/bas/WEB-INF/web.xml for html to work? Avoid using relative paths from a servlet. The spec doesn't mandate how a servlet's relative path is handled, since a servlet is a virtual entity. A thorough review of the servlet spec (available at java.sun.com) will provide more insight, as should several introductory J2EE/servlet texts. If you use JSPs instead of servlets for your presentation content, you can use a special JSTL tag to reference context-relative links, images, and other static content. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
