Consider the following servlet mapping.

<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>DoThisServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/do/this/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>DoThatServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/dothat</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>DoServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
Which of the following are true for the above mapping in the deployment descriptor


Select all 2 correct Choices.


A. /do/this/index.html request is handled by the DoThisServlet.

B. /do/this/whatto.do request is handled by the DoServlet.

C. /dothat/forthis.html request is handled by DoThatServlet.

D. /dothat request is handled by the default servlet.

Correct Answer is A and D

I think answer should be only A.

My Analyses :

/do/this/index.html-
First container would try to find a exact match .its not found so container goes for directory match .it matches <url-pattern>/do/this/*</url-pattern>.so A is correct

/do/this/whatto.do
Container would try to find a exact match its not found so it goes for directory match .so
.It matches <url-pattern>/do/this/*</url-pattern>.so B is incorrect.
Request goes to DoThisServlet

/dothat/forthis.html
There is not extension match or a directory match and neither a exact match
It may result in default servlet or an error page

/dothat
THere is a exact match
<servlet-name>DoThatServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/dothat</url-pattern>
It will map to DoThatServlet

Please provide help
