Understanding url-patterns
Are URL Patterns ending in a wild card allowed by the Servlet Spec? I have this pattern setup with the intention of binding every url that begins with foo to a serlvet servlet-mapping servlet-nameMultiFooService/servlet-name url-pattern/foo*/url-pattern /servlet-mapping But http://localhost/foo1, ...foo2, ...fooANYTHING gives me a 404 Only http://localhost/foo* actually resolves to the servlet. Do I have the syntax wrong? I seen examples like url-pattern/*.jsp/url-pattern, so is there some different notation required for wildcards at the end of the pattern? Tomcat 6.0.20

Tomcat 6.0.20 I think you really need to read the corresponding section of the servlet specs for that, because these URL patterns are not the same as filespec patterns, and not regexpes either. Their interpretation is really java-servlet-specs-specific. Don't ask why. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Re: Understanding url-patterns
I actually spent an hour and half trying to find the Servlet 2.5 specs and researching this question in general. The only thing on Sun's site for Servlet 2.5 was the Javadocs, not the actual specs. In fact I even found other people who had the same issue of not being able to find the Specs as a PDF. I have would be tickled to death to be able to read the specs straight from the source, but since I couldn't find the source, I figured I would ask another source of information, ie this list.

Independently of the other answers, just 2 notes : 1) probably the reason why nobody wants to give you another answer than to read the specs, is that when you will have read the specs about the URL wildcards, you will not only have your answer, but also be somewhat puzzled yourself as to why the specs writers had to go and re-invent yet another way of doing wildcards all for themselves. You would thus probably not believe it if we just told you, so it is better if you read the original specs. They are, after all, the specs, and Tomcat has to abide by them. 2) Even apart from that, and even for non-specifically-Java types like me, the specs are more or less readable, and the parts that are readable are very enlightening for anyone having to deal with Tomcat (or servlet servers in general). So the gurus here are actually trying to do you a favor by forcing you to go read them. The additional benefit is that the next time someone on this list asks a question that is clearly non-sensical and/or in contravention of the specs, you will be able to tell them : read the servlet specs. Makes you immediately sound like a pro. ;-) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't go with either standard globbing rules (* = anything, ? = any one thing) or with regular expressions (which can be somewhat inaccessible). The whole it looks like a glob but it's only a very special case of a glob is pretty irritating. I just checked, and this foolishness is still in effect for the proposed 3.0 specification. The additional benefit is that the next time someone on this list asks a question that is clearly non-sensical and/or in contravention of the specs, you will be able to tell them : read the servlet specs. Makes you immediately sound like a pro. Or an ass. Sometimes the two are interchangeable. :) - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkseq2wACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDlIACaAmVnLpWIohItFZ+P957/ZePB yxAAn12zWcCYScA0FJEjbPpe15guEt8Q =87sb -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
