Actually, this makes sense to me: the default mapping for the JSP
servlet is "*.jsp". Your path doesn't end in .jsp, and therefore does
not match the url-pattern.
this is the crux of the problem, and the showstopper preventing us from
deploying under Tomcat -- all our applications use this convention
and, as I
said, it works in other servlet containers.
I tried using *.jsp/* and this threw a parsing error,
Hmm. Odd. I'll look into that. It won't work they way you want but I'd
like to get to the bottom of the parsing error.
the webapp refused to run load. *.jsp* ignored all jsp files.
The * characters are probably being treated literally.
I think other servlet containers
are using a globbing that is assumed to be the complete expression,
which in
regex would be .*\.jsp, whereas it appears that tomcat is taking it in
what
a regex would phrase as .*\.jsp$, ie it is enforcing the end of the
string
as the end of the candidate string. If this behaviour cannot be
changed, I
have to change servlet containers, so I'm eager to find out one way or
the
other if tomcat can accommodate this.
Tomcat is following the mapping rules in the Servlet spec. It looks like
Resin has some proprietary extensions to the mapping rules. I'd be
surprised if you found other containers supporting them.
I can get Tomcat to behave the way you want but configuring web.xml
isn't going to be pretty. I'd strongly recommend moving to an approach
more in line with the Servlet spec rather than the current
container-specific mapping approach.
If you have a JSP in the root of your webapp called snoop.jsp (I took
this from the examples web app) then you'll need to add the following:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/snoop.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/snoop.jsp/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
As I said, adding that for every single JSP isn't going to be pretty but
it does give you a way to make this work on Tomcat (or any other container).
