Howdy, You can map servlets in your web.xml to almost any URL pattern you want.
If your webapp is installed under the ROOT context, add the following into your web.xml: <servlet> <servlet-name>fooServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>fooName</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>fooServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/foo</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> See the Servlet Spec, section 11 "Mapping Requests To Servlets", for full details. If after reading the spec you conclude it's insufficient, you can always place simple HTML forwarding files, e.g. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=REFRESH content="0; URL=/servlet/fooName"> </head> </html> where you need them. And if all the above doesn't meet your needs, you're probably better off adding apache or another server that does fancier URL-rewriting for you ;) Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Colin Chalmers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 11:43 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Url rewrite > >Hi, > >I've been searching for info concerning url rewriting/mapping with Catalina >but can't seem to find a definitive answer (except to use Apache with >mod-rewrite). > >Problem > >I would like to access a servlet >(http://localhost:8080/fooDir/servlet/fooName) with a *nice* name such as >http://localhost:8080/foo > >I've found info whereby server.xml can be changed to map foo to fooDir and >something similiar in the web.xml but I have to say that I got lost in the >mountain of answer attempts, each time proposing a (slightly) different >solution. > >Can it be done?
