Yes, we would probably use some tools to build the web.xml. Currently our applications has something between 1 to 15000 servlets. Mapping to /servlet/* how it works now, a normal URL is http://host:8080/webapp/servlet/myservlet;. But then I tried to remove the /servlet/ from the URL,

Dear all, I'm faceing the following problem in tomcat (probably just configuration). I have a WEBAPP which uses the invoker servlet (i know how bad it is, but for now it gets the job done). The static content

Thanks Mark. I'll try to upgrade to the latest then. Invoker: I know it is bad (even more than the overlord), probably don't know how bad or the impact it has in usage, but for now it works. I've read some about it, but never could really understand the problems it brings. In our current

Interesting Tim. But a little confusing for me. Never used filters, but for what you said and I googled: I would have to build a filter and map it to /images/*, right? Something like: filter filter-nameResource filter/filter-name

I know we are going a little off the original topic, but for me this is very interesting. I think I understand your point: Any library in /webapp/lib/ that has access to executing linux commands (as you point) could be executed as well from any browser. If invoker is not

I thought the filter would allow me to serve the static resources under /images/. I understand if it is in order to make invoker more secure. But what I'm actually trying to achieve is the proper serving of resources. I don't know exactly why, but mapping the default servlet to /* is not

Thanks a lot André for taking the time in explaining. Currently we do not have this kind of attacks because the app runs in an intranet. But I know that in this closed scenario we should beware of the users. Hopefully, someday, we will be able to properly map this application in web.xml and

I agree with you. The static resources where never a problem to me, but since I messed with the web.xml they started to behave oddly. Maybe this line is causing trouble: servlet-mapping servlet-nameinvoker/servlet-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern /servlet-mapping It used

Thanks Tim. If this is the case I could make it weight-in in the matter of building a well formed web.xml. Although it could take some time. Mapping each servlet to an /* url-pattern will avoid us from using invoker and at the same time get rid of /servlet in the URL and keep images under

Thanks Ronald and Pid for the help. Honestly I don't know if this parameters thing is really a performance issue, but I've been assigned to work on it so I don't have much choice, ;). I liked the idea of a class handling the attributes in ServletContext. I'll give it a try and let you know of

Thanks a lot for such a fast answer but actually I'm a newbie and really don't know how to do what you proposed. How can I find out if I have an Apache HTTPD server??? Or if it listens to port 80??? The folders under my Tomcat goes like this (very simlilar to the one in SUSE): + Tomcat
