Easy ;)
If you look in the estore_war.xml (the WAR descriptor) you'll see these
lines:
<servlet>
<description>no description</description>
<display-name>centralJsp</display-name>
<servlet-name>webTierEntryPoint</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>Main.jsp</jsp-file>
<load-on-startup>-1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>webTierEntryPoint</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/control/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
You'll then also notice that ALL urls contain the /control/ directory.
Basically they've mapped main.jsp to the virtua directory /control/, then
main.jsp takes anything after the control/ as the path to process.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mike
