dynamic urls

2002-08-01 Thread SB 



Hi
I want my URLs as
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/2345
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/23349
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/345

all mapped to the same servlet, none are static.

Note that I do not want:
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet?23349
which is straightforward, but
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/23349


How can I do it?

thanks

You want path mapping.  Something like:

servlet-mapping
  servlet-namemyservlet/servlet-name
  url-pattern/MyServlet/*/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping

This will forward all requests matching /webapps/MyServlet/* to myservlet.

The Request object will break this URL down like this:
requestURI = contextPath + servletPath + pathInfo

http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/23349 =
  /webapp  +  /MyServlet  + /23349


later.
