Log:
Add missing case to support the following web.xml:
<servlet>
<display-name>ServletTest</display-name>
<servlet-name>ServletTest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>test.ServletTest</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ServletTest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.screen</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>welcome.screen</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
All Servlet TCKs passed. Please review (I recall some discussion on welcome file but can't find those emails).
Since you have no way of testing if the resource exists or not, the request will *always* be redirected to the welcome file. It also means that, with the default settings and mappings, all requests to a folder will end up being redirected to index.jsp. I thought this was obvious enough.
Not enough for me ;-). So if it's impossible, the spec should be updated, righ?
Sorry, I'm almost certain I had talked about it earlier: that's the reason for my comment.
I really don't see any way to implement it (if you find one ...), so IMO the spec is broken for extension mapping with welcome files (since they'll always match *.jsp with index.jsp - ok, I know, it's a static file, so there's a way to check in the special case).
For exact or wildcard mappings, there's no problem.
If you want more spec issues, let me know :)
(right now, I have session handling with cross context, and also request dispatching and wrapping)
