Re: What does "do" stand for in .do files

[Michael McGrady]

Yup.  As several people have said, myself included, the "do" is purely 
conventional and has no import at all.  If you look at my post, I said I 
use my name instead of "do".  You merely have to do something to allow the 
framework to know that you want it to forward the request to a servlet 
which has been specified.  This is all explained more precisely in any 
decent book on servlets in web apps.

So, just to complement the discussion, is it possible to use any other 
extension rather than .do? Changing it in the web.xml file makes that possible?

Thanks
