Please HELP:
I have the following in my web.xml file:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CardServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Cards/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
The servlet at this point only writes out a simple hello page and debug
output of getPathInfo() and getRequestURI() but it will do some pretty heavy
processing which I don't want done twice. What is happening is as follows:
I submit the URL:
/foo/Cards/a/b/aCard.jsp
The servlet debug prints:
pathInfo=>/a/b/aCard.jsp
requestURI=>/foo/Cards/a/b/aCard.jsp
pathInfo=>/a/b/
requestURI=>/foo/Cards/a/b/
I submit the URL:
/foo/Cards/aCard.jsp
The servlet debug prints:
pathInfo=>/aCard.jsp
requestURI=>/foo/Cards/aCard.jsp
pathInfo=>/
requestURI=>/foo/Cards/
What I thought should happen is that I would only get called once as I do
not have any further calls that reference '/Cards/' once I am in the
servlet. Is what I am seeing the proper behavior or am I doing something
wrong? Help. The first time the servlet gets called with what I would expect
the second call is really throwing me for a loop.
Thanks for any help given.
