Bsically, http://server/myservlet?file=movies.htm is going to be equivalent to what I want to do. However, I want it to look like http://myhost/myservlet/movies.htm
That answers my question perfectly. -Wil -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.

The "Extra Path" portion of the URL is intended for this kind of requirement. Take a look at HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo(). You just add your file name to the end of the servlet URL like - http://myhost/myservlet/movies.htm Actually perhaps the motivation for your requirement is unclear. If you can add "/movies.htm" to the URL as shown in your example, why not just have http://server/myservlet?file=movies.htm Paul Copeland, JOT Object Technologies -- http://www.jotobjects.com > > Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 15:49:37 -0700 > From: Wil Moore III <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Action Servlet?? > > I wanted to create a web app that performs some action upon any file that is > called from the web server. > For instance: a user calls http://server/movies.htm > > Would it be possible to have a servlet take a specific action on movies.htm > instead of just having the web server display movies.htm? > > If so, how do I do this.
