First off, changed group "To:" to tomcat-user...
Now to your response:
That's the thing, I have no servlet-mapping (or any servlets defined at all
for that matter!) in my example. I'm trying to put a filter on static
content. Here's my web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<filter>
<filter-name>testFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>TestFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>testFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/files/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
My "testFilter" does nothing but print the getServletPath() and
getPathInfo(), then call doFilter() to pass the request down the chain.
If my request is "/context/files/foo.html", Tomcat 4.0.1 says the servlet
path is "/files/foo.html" and path-info is null. What am I missing here?
thanks,
russ
