you might want to look at implementing Filters to handle redirection that just checked the request and passes the user off.
-----Original Message----- From: Mark Beecroft [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sun 7/21/2002 7:30 PM To: Tomcat Users List; Jacob Kjome Cc: Subject: filtering --> 2 servlets Good morning/afternoon/evening, I am using Tomcat 4 and have 2 servlets between which I would like to split processing. Servlet A needs to process all requests corresponding to the patterns "*.html", "*.html" and "/". Servlet B needs to process all other requests. The short question is how can I do this? I am currently using filters but am finding it difficult to cater for the pattern "/". The only option seems to be the use of the url mapping "/*" to invoke a filter class, but then how does processing get to Servlet B? If I only invoke chain.doFilter() when the pathinfo satisfies the conditions of Servlet A then I can get Servlet A working normally, but there seems no way of ever invoking Servlet B with such a configuration. To demonstrate: http://www.domainname.com/index.html --> Servlet A http://www.domainname.com/whatever.htm --> Servlet A http://www.domainname.com/ --> servlet A http://www.domainname.com/image.jpeg --> no Servlet accessed What I really would like is a more versatile url-pattern element, but does anyone have a solution for my current situation... please...
