I wrote a nice long response to it, pressed the button, got error message, went back and poof! it's gone
No biggie. I did not do the double-post on purpose. I understand that asking the same question twice does not increase chances of response
As for the cross-post... i thought that Subject was not good. If I had the ability to delete that
thread or edit the Subject... In either case, sorry about that.
We are building a bridge to serve content from CMS. Client wants to use URLs to identify content withing CMS.
http://localhost/alex/foo/bar Means we should get content from CMS located in alex/foo/bar. This means all requests should go to 1 servlet that does this. I tried using "/*" mapping but it screwes everything up (evn including JSPs results in recursive call because it overrides "*.jsp").
I was thinking of using extension mappings a'la Struts .do, but they want to do "http://localhost/alex/foo/bar," not "http://localhost/alex/foo/bar.SOMETHING"
So I was thinking to intercept all incoming URLs and add ".SOMETHING" to it unless it has a 3 letter extension (to keep JSPs and images working). Seems like this is the only way to keep ability to include JSPs while forwarding all other requests to CentralServlet. I am probably overthinking this, so any comments are appreciated. Thank You!
