As most always, TMTOWTDI (Perl-speak for "there's more than one
way to do it"). In your deployment discriptor...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web
Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd";>
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
X
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
XServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
Y
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
YServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
X
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/XServlet
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
X
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/X
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Using this as a template to expand possibilities for both X and Y
servlets, you can now use an href of http://your_server/X or
http://your_server/XServer or anything else (including html
extensions if you want to hide the fact you are using servlets).
Cheers!

Subject: URLs and servlet mapping

"YServlet"

mapping), always

it to MyApp

do the right
