AFAIR the servlet request handling sequence works the way, that after all the filters, if no servlet mapping is resolved, the request goes to so called default servlet (mapped to /*). Every servlet container has own implementation of this. Here is one for jetty: http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty/trunk/jetty-servlet/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/servlet/DefaultServlet.java It would be possibe to do something like: bind(DefaultServlet.class).in(Singleton.class); serve("/index.html").with(DefaultServlet.class); ,however AFAIR there are some drawbacks of mapping DefaultServlet to something other than /*, at least on some servlet containers - the path before * could be excluded from webapp context relative file path. In some servlet containers the default servlet is declared with name 'default' and you can use own mapping to this servlet in web.xml, however it does not seem to be portable. The solution I proposed looks ugly - I know it, however it seems to be portable, as long as we can count on different default servlet implementations. :) -- "Meaning is differential not referential" kazik 'morisil' pogoda http://www.xemantic.com/ http://blog.xemantic.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-guice" group.
