Apologies for starting a new post on an existing thread but
everytime I try and follow up I get a top posting error.
Here is the thread on the issue
Rhett,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried mapping to something specific and it still does not
work, 404 error.
I set up a route like so
router.attach("/testServlet/dog",HelloWorldResource.class);
and set up a mapping in the web.xml like so
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RestletServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/testServlet/dog</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I tried the URLs /testServlet/dog and also /testServlet/testServlet/dog
and no luck.
The only way it appears to work is if attachDefault is used with
a url-pattern of /*
Does anyone have an example of a route and url-pattern that they know works on
their setup?
Ted
Hi Ted,
What Stephan was pointing out is that that _won't_ happen because the
container will continue to route requests to the other servlets --
even if your restlet servlet wanted to handle the other requests, it
won't ever see them.
I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I'd suggest that your problem is
that your servlet was mapped to /testServlet/* and you were trying to
request /testServlet. The containers I've used (okay, just Tomcat)
are very literal minded. Try requesting /testServlet/ or /testServlet/
somethingElse.

Helo TA,
try to request /testServlet/testServlet/*, because you give the
"testServlet" double: one times in the web.xml and one times while
attaching to the router. I think, you should remove the "testServlet"
from the attach method.
best regards
Stephan
New user and I'm playing around with the firstStepsApplication using it in a
tomcat web container.
I'm trying to play with the routing.
Instead of
Router router = new Router(getContext());
router.attachDefault(HelloWorldResource.class);
I'm trying to do
router.attach("/testServlet",HelloWorldResource.class);
and correspondingly, I've changed the entry in web.xml
from
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RestletServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
to
<url-pattern>/testServlet/*</url-pattern>
and I can't get it to work, keep getting 404 error.
I don't want to default route to the app for all URIs in the url mapping, just
ones that start with /testServlet
Appreciate any help.
Ted
