It can be extended like any other java class. In reality - there are
probably 2 better solutions than extending (or replacing) the Default
Servlet.
1) Create a filter which does what you need then pass control to the
default servlet. (chain.doFilter())
2) Create your own default servlet but in cases where you'd rather use
the default servlet instead of your own - use the following code:
{
getServletContext().getNamedDispatcher("default")
.forward(request, response);
return;
}

Read some tomcat docs where it said one can override the default servlet... and then it gets a little cocky and says if you cant read the code... this is not for you (pleb!)
So this plebian is asking... wot does override actually mean??
I do know that if one creates a servlet and say maps it as /*.... that will
effectively block the default servlet.... is that wot override means?
Or and this is wot I'm hoping.... does it mean one can "extend" it... as in...
Class MagicDefault extends Default
Anyway if it can be overriden in true class form without a recompile of
Tomcat.... it gets very interesting?... if so please tell me how... thx
