>Description:
I'm trying (all day long) to map URI of the form /x/ to
/servlets/myAliasedClass/
I think that ApJServMount makes it very obfuscated.
I tried:
RewriteRule ^/x/(.*) /servlets/myAliasedClass/
I tried it with [PT] option. But it doesn't work. The url is mapped to the
filesystem. But the /servlets mount point is not in the filesystem itself. So I
get 404.
It works if I remap it using external redirection. But that's not what I like.
In case of CGI/mod-perl/fcgi/you-name-it it's pretty easy to map URI's
internally. But it seems impossible for servlet.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
1. Some sort of ServletAlias.
2. ApJServAction handler-type /uri/to/servlet
^^^^^^^^^^^
And I mean 'handler' not 'extension'.
(then I would be able to SetHandler for some location).
I call it a bug that mod_jserv is extension based,
not mime or handler-type based.
