Thanks, Jan
I actually read your great document plus all the docs in Tomcat- actually
I'm trying to design a web app very much like the one in chapter 9 of the
kolb and fields book.
The idea is to have a central controller servlet- DemoServlet that gets
invoked initially by the user. I was hoping to use localhost:8080/demo, but
as you say, it doesn't seem setup for this. (although in the chapter they
claim on page 275 to have mapped FaqAdminServlet to /faqtool- later they use
<form action="/faqtool" ...> to reinvoke the controller servlet)- which is
very much what I want to do-
In your opinion is it easier in the long run to map onto /demo/demo?
Ultimately, I want to be able to invoke the servlet and refer to html,jsp
without caring where the web app was deployed or site specific settings of
server.xml.
Thanks, Jason
