Rob,
I had a similar requirement with the last project. I wrote all the
functionality for the parts that required authentication into one servlet.
Then I used ApjServAction in the <VirtualHost> directive in httpd.conf to
call the servlet in question for all files ending in my chosen file
extension.
ie.
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.com>
...
ApJServAction .ir /servlet/ParseServlet
</VirtualHost>
This worked really well in this situation as I could create an html template
which had the .ir file extension. The full path of the file is passed to
this servlet with the directory and user parameters. The servlet performs
an action depending upon the name of the file passed to it and uses the file
as the html template to output.
If you have lots of different servlets or very different functionality then
this won't be ideal, but it worked really well in my situation.
Good luck
Simon
