Bug ID: 56430
Summary: Extension mapping that includes a dot in the extension
does not work
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.53
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Servlet & JSP API
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: sm...@benjaminplocek.com
Chapter SRV.11.2 of the servlet specification defines...
A string beginning with a '*.' prefix is used as an extension mapping.
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/servlet-2.5-mrel2-eval-oth-JSpec/
So, this tells us, the url-pattern '*.jsp' forwards all requests ending with
'.jsp' to the mapped servlet or filtes. With this, one might also assume that
the url-pattern '*.my.txt' forwards all requests ending with 'my.txt' to the
configured servlet or filters. But the latter does not work with Tomcat.
I set up a tiny maven project, for illustrating the problem:
https://bitbucket.org/benplocek/servlet-extension-mapping-test
This project contains a Servlet and a Filter, both mapped to '.my.html':
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.my.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
When sending a request to /test.my.html Tomcat responds with a 404.
I also deployed this app to Jetty 9.1.4 which behaves as expected:
/test.my.html invokes the filter and also serves the servlet. Because of this I
assume this is a bug in Tomcat.
Note: Also applies to Tomcat 8.0.5.
