Thank you for your hint!
Now I understand, that with my setting:
----------------------------------
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyMainServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
----------------------------------
I override the default configuration which is:
----------------------------------
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
----------------------------------
If I want to handle all requests for non-existent resources with
my "MyMainServlet" and all static-existent (non-servlet) resources
with "DefaultServlet", your solution should work If I can forsee
every type of static resource I will offer in my webapp.
So I would have to write mappings for *.gif, *.jpg, *.png, *.pdf,
*.bla, and so on. I think the way the spec handles this issue, is
that if I do a mapping on "/", then requests for static-existent
content would still be served by the container without invoking
my MyMainServlet. However since the tomcat solution is to handle
static content with a DefaultServlet, I will always loose this
functionality when I override the "/" mapping with my own servlet.
Any suggestions for a workaround!?
Thx
Peter
