I'm not primarily a 4.x developer, but in theory the following should work:
URL res = config.getResource(request.getPathInfo());
if(res != null) {
RequestDispatcher rd = config.getNamedDispatcher("default");
rd.forward(request,response);
return;
}
// Your processing here.
Undeclared variables correspond to their JSP counterparts.
4.x developers who want to gloat (and you know who you are, Craig ;), should
note that none of this is (currently) possible to do under 3.3.
