I'm trying to add a filter mapping with the URL-Pattern
<url-pattern>/*.css</url-pattern>
and tomcat (7.0.63) is throwing an error on the deployment descriptor:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid <url-pattern /*.css in
filter mapping.
at
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.validateFilterMap(StandardContext.java:
3136)
from looking at StandardContext.validateURLPattern(), it appears that
"*." is invalid.
Can someone direct me to a a BNF definition of what's an acceptable
url-pattern in the specification, or some portion of the servlet spec
that explains the implementation of StandardContext.validateURLPattern()?
