I haven't followed all of this thread, but the most expedient way to do
this will be with mod_rewrite. I believe you can do something like:
# This captures the translated filename in %1:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*)
# And this redirects it to your servlet:
RewriteRule \.xml$ /WK/YourContext/XMLHandlerServlet?file=%1 [QSA,L,PT]
Of course, this would make it possible for someone to process arbitrary
files on your server by calling XMLHandlerServlet directly. You might
want to add another rule to keep people from accessing XMLHandlerServlet
directly, like:
# Before the rules above, put in:
RewriteRule ^/WK/YourContext/XMLHandlerServlet /go-away.html [L]
(if YourContext is the default context, then you'll have to put in two
lines like this)
