Thank you for that Reinhard, That super class stuff answers another question I had :-)
What I have rather than inheritance is two actually two implementations. For example: http://localhost:8888/recommendations?url=blah http://localhost:8888/recommendations?rdf=blah Under the hood these are actually two implementations of recommendations engines that provide the same business functionality, but are implemented in complete different ways (totally different code). Therefore, the code is separate, and seems sensible to be in two separate blocks. But from a user perspective, they don't want to know about the differences in implementation; that just call /recommendations. Hence mapping the two blocks at one mount-path. I'll have a play around.

I guess that you want to make one servlet-service extend another servlet-service. This can be done by declaring a "super" connection: <bean name="com.bbc.cmc.cmc-block1.service"> <servlet:context mount-path="/cmc-block1" context-path="blockcontext:/cmc-block1/"> </servlet:context> </bean> <bean name="com.bbc.cmc.cmc-block2.service"> <servlet:context mount-path="/" context-path="blockcontext:/cmc-block2/"> <servlet:connections> <entry key="super" value-ref="com.bbc.cmc.cmc-block1.service"/> </servlet:connections> </servlet:context> </bean> If com.bbc.cmc.cmc-block2.service can't provide a resource, its parent (com.bbc.cmc.cmc-block1.service) is asked for it.
