Michael,
You should think about it the other way. If you map a directory to a
servlet, you souldn't be able to directly access any document in that
directory, because although the URL seems to be the same, it's not :
without mapping :
http://www.mydomain.com/jgr/mydoc.html
^ ^
subdirectory
^ ^
document
with mapping :
http://www.mydomain.com/jgr/mydoc.html
^ ^
document
^ ^
extra path
In the second case, the servlet is the document (dynamic) and what used to
be the document name is now the extra path info, which is not used by
default.
The strange thing is that you say you get different result. This can be
caused by a bug in Resin, or by some configuration differences that you did
not notice. What you should do (as always) is to test it against the
reference implementation (Tomcat).

Objet : Re: url mapping
yes, that's really a good option and it propably would work the way i want
it, but i don't want no workaround, i want to know why resin behaves like
that and (most important) i want to know how i can change it!
the funny part about all this is that i have another webapplication on resin
2.0.1 with exactly the same entries in web.xml (the kind of entries is the
same, their values are different, i.e. mapped other servlets to other URIs),
and it does what i want it to do (i can request every file that exists)...
i didn't change anything in resin's configuration (except setting the
server's port to 80 instead of 8080, but if this is really causing the
problem, i'm going to sell my computer, drop off school and find myself an
island to life on ;-)
