Keeping url short and relative

[Ramakanta Sahoo]

Hi All,

First I would like to tell that I am a part time programmer so please gimme answers in little detailed manner may b with example. please bear with this.

I am developing a new application(opensource) using only Jsp and HTML, where i have many tabs for diff purposes.
What I want is all the individual jsp files(jsp\*.jsp) should comes with a nice url when I click on any tab like http://www.abc.com/?query=dba.jsp like this

I dont know how to achive this. all individual jsp's are one one complete program which performs different tasks like db query,file management, system usage etc, so no 2 files are linked each other.

In the screenshot you can see its going for the file on folder name jsp i dont want this i want a formatted url where it shows some structure urls

Please do let me know how shall I will be able to achive this or better if you have some other idea.

Put this in your web.xml

    <servlet>
           <servlet-name>MainJSP</servlet-name>
           <jsp-file>/cavalary/jsp/XXX.jsp</jsp-file>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>MainJSP</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/XXX</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

Putting in an entry for every JSP is not the best approach. What happens when there are hundreds? You really want to look into the Front Controller pattern.

And using JSP without servlets is like frosting with no cake. Please read this article for more info.
