Can anyone tell me how to use <url-pattern> tag and why is used?

<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name> login</servlet-name><servlet-class> edu.su.LoginServlet </servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name> login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern> *.html </url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

<web-app>


you can apply pattern on any url in your web application.
*.html
If some url contain any name . html than it should be referred to LoginServlet
