Re: replacement for symbolic links to files (Apache httpd to Tomcat)
Thanks, this worked, I didn't understand the sneaky trick of making "blog.html" a jsp file. jsp /diglloyd/blog.html The file "/diglloyd/blog.html" (same as /diglloyd/blog.jsp) so that existing user bookmarks will work: <%@ include file="2008-03-blog.html" %> On Mar 24, 2008, at 11:30 AM, Caldarale, Charles R wrote: From: DIGLLOYD INC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: replacement for symbolic links to files (Apache httpd to Tomcat) Wouldn't "/blog.html" refer to http://diglloyd.com/blog.html ?

Chuck, Thanks, but perhaps I don't understand: - "blog.html" is under /diglloyd eg at http://diglloyd.com/diglloyd/blog.html eg not at the top level of the web app. Wouldn't "/blog.html" refer to http://diglloyd.com/blog.html ?

Re: replacement for symbolic links to files (Apache httpd to Tomcat)
David/Hassan,
I've written a filter since I couldn't get the
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);
}
}
maps /diglloyd/blog.html to /diglloyd/blog.jspdescription>

The servlet spec is an excellent resource for this kind of stuff:

It has docs for the classes/interfaces in javax.servlet as well as
docs on what's valid in the web.xml file.

Do you mean to use this in conjunction with a "blog.jsp" which
would then include blog.html?

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). jsp /diglloyd/blog.html (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. Is there a path issue (eg the leading "diglloyd")? Lloyd On Mar 24, 2008, at 8:05 AM, David Smith wrote: ... takes the name of a servlet as defined by the ... element, not the servlet's class.
