This works well for me. See JavaDox at http://virtualschool.edu/jwaa for the classes mentioned here. void doRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) { 00071 Ctx ctx = new Ctx(this, request, response); 00072 logRequest(ctx); 00073 try 00074 { 00075 String pageName = request.getPathInfo(); 00076 if (pageName != null) 00077 { 00078 int lastSlash = pageName.lastIndexOf("/"); 00079 if (lastSlash > -1) 00080 pageName = pageName.substring(lastSlash+1, pageName.length()); 00081 } 00082 AbstractPage page = getDefaultPage().findPage(ctx, pageName); 00083 page.doRequest(ctx); 00084 } 00085 catch (Exception e) { fault(ctx, e); } 00086 finally 00087 { 00088 ctx.finalize(); 00089 } 00090 } getDefaultPage() is the page to be displayed if the page lookup fails. Its findPage() method returns the looked up page if found, else itself.
