hi,
thanks this really explains why i always receive http://localhost/jgr (i
think if i had first looked in the specs i would have had much less
trouble)...
i rewrote my servlet so that it prints out request.getServletPath() every
time its service(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) method is called.
if request.getServletPath() is null the servlet prints out the html code, if
it's not null the servlet reads in the requested file and prints it out
(with DataOutputStream to support binary files, too), like you adviced some
mails ago. i don't really like it, but it works...
thank you for your support Pierre-Yves!!!
