Bug #: 52530
Summary: Incorrectly accept many url-pattern on a single
servlet-mapping in web.xml
Product: Tomcat 5
Version: 5.5.26
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Dear tomcat developers,
I need to map the same servlet on two different url. I used netbeans 7.0.1 for
managing my whole project, so I used its friendly interface to modify the
web.xml file. What netbeans created is this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>fred</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/url</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This is read by tomcat 5.5 without emitting any error, but only the second
pattern works, while the first one is ignored.
Googling I found that the right way for tomcat 5.5 is this one:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>fred</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>fred</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/url</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
And this seems to be right way because tomcat 5.5 is bound to Servlet 2.4.
Spec for Servlet 2.5, on note SRV.19.0.3 titled «Multiple Occurrences of
Servlet Mappings», says:
Previous versions of the servlet schema allows only a single url-pattern or
servlet name per servlet mapping. For servlets mapped to multiple URLs this
results in needless repetition of whole mapping clauses.
So, I think tomcat 5.5 should emit an error for this broken web.xml file.
Thanks,
Giuseppe
