according to servlet 2.2, chapter 10.2:
<snip>
A string beginning with a '*.' prefix is used as an extension mapping.
</snip>
your mapping looks like a typical extension mapping. However, it also looks
to me like you are trying to map all JSPs to one "main" JSP. If orion
accepted this, it would be a nice endless recursion
The default mapping for JSPs is in global-web-application.xml. On a side
note, evermind uses that same syntax that Ozzie mentions ("/*.jsp"), which
is meaningless according to the servlet spec (see below). I once used that
syntax in an app that I redeployed under Tomcat - where it stopped working.
I was then pointed to the spec by the Tomcat gurus.
<snip>
A string beginning with a '/' character and ending with a '/*' postfix is
used as a path
mapping.
A string beginning with a '*.' prefix is used as an extension mapping.
>>>>All other strings are used as exact matches only<<<<
