The servlet spec doesn't apply to environments, only containers. If
the OP wants to have Apache httpd serve static files and proxy dynamic
requests, that's perfectly reasonable.
Quoting Servlet Specification 3.0, section 4.1 Servlet context, it says:
/A ServletContext is rooted at a known path within a Web server. For
example, a servlet context could be located at
http://www.mycorp.com/catalog. All requests that begin with the /catalog
request path, known as the context path, are routed to the Web
application associated with the ServletContext.//
/
My reading of it says that any request that matches a known context path
must be routed to the web application. It seems pretty cut and dried to me.
Can you help me understand why that's not the case?
It's also easy to do.
What you're suggesting is what GoDaddy does. The problem is that if
you map requests for things like css, javascript, or even ".html"
pages to a servlet, then it breaks.
Bad idea.
?
Why would a servlet have a problem handling a request for a .html
file? The DefaultServlet was designed with that explicit purpose in mind
