The "Extra Path" portion of the URL is intended for this kind of
requirement. Take a look at HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo(). You just
add your file name to the end of the servlet URL like -
http://myhost/myservlet/movies.htm
Actually perhaps the motivation for your requirement is unclear. If you
can add "/movies.htm" to the URL as shown in your example, why not just
have
http://server/myservlet?file=movies.htm

> Would it be possible to have a servlet take a specific action on movies.htm
> instead of just having the web server display movies.htm?

> If so, how do I do this. If it is an application server or servlet container
> specific thing, please let me know details on the one you know about.
