Or you might use your servlet to display the static file, using the extra
path information.
This technique can be use to map a directory to a servlet. You can then
access all document in this directory (and subdiretories) with their static
path, altough the document are served by the servlet. For example, when a
user request :
http://www.mydomain.com/jgr/mydoc.html
he gets exactly what he asked for (document mydoc.html in directory jgr),
but trough the servlet. The user never know he is accessing a servlet,
altough you can use it to parse the contain of the file and do whatever you
want.
With the addition of filters, this can be very powerfull.

Objet : Re: url mapping
I haven't used Resin, but in general, when you map a directory to a servlet
instance in web.xml, the webserver/container is going to send every HTTP
request to the servlet to which that directory is mapped. You need to put
the static HTML file into the webserver document root.
