I've spent a lot of time in hte past tyring to serve static html and dynamic html from the same web app with both mapped to the .html extension. I wanted files under /static/*.html to be served statically by the web container and /app/*.html to go via my Spring MVC controllers. Unfortunately the url-pattern specification of web.xml is really weak and I never got it to work successfully. I had to either change the extension of the dynamic pages to .htm (or vice versa) Or serve the static .html files from another web app context.
I believe Resin has custom url-pattern extensions that support regular expression paths. One has to wonder why url-pattern in the servlet spec doesn't support regular expressions. I would be very interested if anyone has successfully served static and dynamic content with both mapped to the .html extension. Sanjiv On 2/22/07, Brett Knights <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I have a bunch of files I want to serve from a sub-directory in an appfuse project. I want them secured by acegi and wrapped by the project's sitemesh wrapper. I am using Spring MVC. The files will generally not be .jsp's I assume I'll have to map the directory to a controller and view resolver. Pointers or tips on which ones to use would be greatly appreciated.
