I just noticed something that seems to work for me, but I can't determine
quite why? Maybe someone can confirm that this is expected behavior or
not.....
I am running Tomcat 3.2.1 on Windows 2000
It seems that if you have a servlet registered in web.xml like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>quiz</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Quiz</servlet-class>
</servlet>
AND you have the default values in mod_jk.conf:
JkMount /mycontext/*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /mycontext/servlet/* ajp13
you are able to access the above servlet at either of the following URL's:
http://localhost/mycontext/servlet/Quiz
http://localhost/mycontext/servlet/quiz
Notice the case difference in Quiz/quiz
It seems that the <servlet-name> provides a rudimentary amount of servlet
mapping.
I tested this theory by changing the <servlet-name> to "quiza" and testing
that. After I did that, "Quiz" and "quiza" worked, but "quiz" did not.
NOTE: This was done WITHOUT servlet mapping tags such as:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>quiz</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/quiz</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
So, it seems you can very simply (without complex servlet mappings) make
your servlet case insensitive; that is in First letter upper case java
style class naming syntax OR all lower case.
HOWEVER,
I am not sure if this is portable accross servers!!!!!!!!!
Can someone confirm that this isn't just a quirk of Tomcat? Should it work
this way based on the servlet spec???? Is it portable across servlet
runners???? Does this work on Tomcat 4.0????
