Did you try a servlet mapping?
Here, maybe like so:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>view</servlet-name>
<display-name>view</display-name>
<description>
A picture of my hairy balls.
</description>
<servlet-class>org.foo.BallViewer</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>view</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/view</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
I've never used the pattern */, but it should work.
If that doesn't work, you can use a filter. Implement the Filter interface.
doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain){
String reqURL = request.getRequestURL.toString();
// Need we invoke the BallViewer?
if(reqURL.trim().endsWith("/")){
}
}
Implementing a filter will ultimately give you the most power.
