Hi!
I've just joined this list. I looked briefly the mailing list archive, but
couldn't find a solution to my url-pattern problem. Hope I'm not sending
faq.
My webapp is "crisscross". I want to map /crisscross/*.xml and
/crisscross/*.html to xmlServlet. For example /crisscross/sub/*.xml
shouldn't be mapped to xmlServlet because the request isn't a
"base-dir"-request. Could someone figure out, how to do this? I'm using
Tomcat 4.1.12, and here are my false attempts:
First attempt (Patterns with slash):
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*.xml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/test.xml
Mapped to servlet 'default' with servlet path '/test.xml' and path info
'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/test.html
Mapped to servlet 'default' with servlet path '/test.html' and path info
'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/*.html
Mapped to servlet 'xmlServlet' with servlet path '/*.html' and path info
'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/*.xml
Mapped to servlet 'xmlServlet' with servlet path '/*.xml' and path info
'null' and update=true
Why two first URLs aren't mapped to xmlServlet?
Second attempt (Patterns without slash):
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/test.xml
Mapped to servlet 'xmlServlet' with servlet path '/test.xml' and path info
'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/test.html
Mapped to servlet 'xmlServlet' with servlet path '/test.html' and path
info 'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/sub/test.xml
Mapped to servlet 'xmlServlet' with servlet path '/sub/test.xml' and path
info 'null' and update=true
Handles (naturally) too much (sub-dir xml's too).
Third attempt:
Trying to map every "...:8080/crisscross/*.*ml" to xmlServlet (every
markup request, except sub-dir ones)
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*.*ml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/test.xml
Mapped to servlet 'default' with servlet path '/test.xml' and path info
'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/sub/test.xml
Mapped to servlet 'default' with servlet path '/sub/test.xml' and path
info 'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/test.*ml
Mapped to servlet 'default' with servlet path '/test.*ml' and path info
'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/sub/test.*ml
Mapped to servlet 'default' with servlet path '/sub/test.*ml' and path
info 'null' and update=true
Nothing gets mapped to xmlServlet.
Fourth attempt:
Trying to map every *.*ml to my servlet
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.*ml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/test.jml
Mapped to servlet 'default' with servlet path '/test.jml' and path info
'null' and update=true
http://localhost:8080/crisscross/test.*ml
Mapped to servlet 'xmlServlet' with servlet path '/test.*ml' and path info
'null' and update=true
None of markup-requests maps to xmlServlet
BTW: my web.xml contains only one servlet-entry:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>fi.tut.pori.amc.games.crisscross.GameServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
After this entry I've tried those mappings/patterns.
There aren't any other entries in web.xml
Cheers
