I am trying to build FrontController servlet for a web site on Tomcat 4 , after long time of changes on the web.xml file , I wasn't able to achieve this pattern, the web.xml portion is :
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>FCservlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
my problem start when the FrontController servlet needs to forward the request to other jsp pages and when he uses the Forward method , the tomcat activate my FrontController again , and after a while I get : StackOverflowError .
You say that you're using the forward() method -- why? There are reasons to do this, but if you're trying to create a FrontController, then presumably you're not interested in hitting your jsps directly in the first place. Is there any reason you aren't using a RequestDispatcher to dispatch/include your jsp page output instead of forwarding to the page?
