hi -- i had this problem a while back -- i don't know that you've explained it clearly, but it sounds like the same problem i had.
The limitation is in the servlet specification itself. Mapping is not designed to work this way...I remember being really disappointed when I read the servlet specification's description of mappings. What I ended up doing was for special cases I created my own "dispatch" servlet that would mangle the incoming url and forward or redirect to the appropriate resource. good luck fillup On 4/23/02 5:27 AM, "Lea Allison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > can anyone tell me how setup servlet mapping and specifiy paths to be left > out. > > For instance I have: > > <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>LookupServlet</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> > > > but I want to have the above, but not including index.jsp for example.
