hmmmm ... a little bit of clarification in the provided example:
After that, jswdk always maps http://localhost:8080/pfex to
the local and relative directory sub1/sub2 and according to an
implicit convention, it also maps http://localhost:8080/pfex/servlet to
the local and relative directory sub1/sub2/WEB-INF/servlets.
So in order to call a servlet named "s1" which is physically located
"sub1/sub2/WEB-INF/servlets/s1.class" directory, you only need to
refer to http://localhost:8080/pfex/servlet/s1
the key, as is see it, is to realize that a single web server can now
support many document bases. the document base mapped to "/"
is equivalent to the singular document base concept supported by
most web servers today.
also note that it is possible to specify other docBase types, including:
absolute file paths
http uri (effectively making the hosting server a proxy server)
web application archives (aka war or jar files; your web application
runs out of a single file making distirubtion, versioning and the
like pretty trivial
hope this helps,
