Hi,
I'm developing a web application and have a couple important constraints:
+ URLs should look "nice" and be bookmarkable in the style of REST e.g. http://localhost/myapp/mylayout/someaction/ + Should be relatively easy to move the WAR call it myapp.war to some other WAR e.g. someappp.war so that is accessible as http://localhost/someapp/ with as little configuration changes as possible in web.xml and elsewhere
The approach I started to take was to use a servlet filter that could take any request e.g. "myapp?foo=bar&color=red" and by using request.getPathInfo() do a forward to the servlet "myapp" with the additional params tacked on. This seemed to be a good strategy since the forward hides the additional params so in the browser you see only the "/myapp/mylayout/someaction/" as desired. However, I noticed depending on the initial URL a user put in, sometimes bad or unexpected things happened so I thought maybe using a filter with a forward is very fragile code.
Has anyone else done this kind of thing-- I tried looking at some popular frameworks but they didn't seem to offer much...
Thanks very much, Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
