Re: replacement for symbolic links to files (Apache httpd to Tomcat)
servlet-mapping ... /servlet-mapping takes the name of a servlet as defined by the servlet.../servlet element, not the servlet's class. That's what the servlet ... /servlet element is for. In this case, the jsp servlet is already defined in the global web.xml file found at conf/web.xml right next to the server.xml file. Please don't edit this web.xml file unless you *really* know what you are doing. Just take a look at it to see how the default servlet and the jsp servlet are defined. Note the separate servlet-mapping element. There can be more than one of these to map a servlet to different paths. --David DIGLLOYD INC wrote: David, I'm new to programming Servlets/JSP, I didn't realize a servlet- mapping could just specify a url-pattern an not specify a servlet class, nor do I understand exactly what this example mapping does (and if it does it without other side-effects).

Re: replacement for symbolic links to files (Apache httpd to Tomcat)
David, The URL I want to see work is http://diglloyd.com/diglloyd/blog.html (currently running on Apache with a symlink currently pointing to 2008-03-blog.html). I wrote blog.jsp which includes the current blog file: %@ include file=2008-03-blog.html % That works great for: http://diglloyd.com/diglloyd/blog.jsp Next, I added this servlet mapping in ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml (ROOT webapp contains diglloyd/blog.html). servlet-mapping servlet-namejsp/servlet-name url-pattern/diglloyd/blog.html/url-pattern /servlet-mapping (blog.jsp is in the ROOT webapp at /diglloyd/blog.jsp) I get a 404 error when I do this, same as without the mapping.

Re: replacement for symbolic links to files (Apache httpd to Tomcat)
David/Hassan,
I've written a filter since I couldn't get the servlet-mapping
approach to work.
This is what I've got. It needs generalization, but it does the job.
My question is this: what is the right way to forward the request?
The way I'm doing it bypasses the rest of the filter chain...or does
the filter chain get reinvoked when the dispatcher forwards the request?
public void doFilter(
final ServletRequest request,
final ServletResponse response,
final FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
final HttpServletRequest httpRequest =
(HttpServletRequest)request;
// very specific handling: forward /diglloyd/blog.html to /diglloyd/
blog.jsp
// should be generalized and/or do so based on init parameters
final String queryString = httpRequest.getQueryString();
if ( queryString == null )
{
final String uri = httpRequest.getRequestURI();
if ( uri.equals( /diglloyd/blog.html) )
{
final RequestDispatcher disp =
request.getRequestDispatcher(/diglloyd/blog.jsp);
disp.forward(request, response);
}
}
else
{
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
}

That would be wrong... Sorry, I didn't realize your webapp is named ROOT (the default webapp), rather than diglloyd, so your original value is correct. (blog.jsp is in the ROOT webapp at /diglloyd/blog.jsp) However, you didn't follow David's instructions: the above should be named blog.html, not blog.jsp in order for the servlet mapping trick to work. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
