Re: Configuring a Default Servlet

[Tim Funk]

The defualt servlet is mapped by the following:

SRV.11.2 Specification of Mappings
"A string containing only the ’/’ character indicates the "default" servlet 
of the application. In this case the servlet path is the request URI minus 
the context path and the path info is null."

So you really want:
  <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
Also that same section states the /* has higher precendence than *.extension

Hi,

I want to have all incomming request forwarded to a default servlet. 
Depending on the URL the request is forwarded to a JSP-page (too dynamic 
to use apache mod_rewrite).

The problem is that if I define the servlet as:
   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>custom</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
It will work, but when I do 
getDispatcher("MyPage.jsp").forward(request,response), it will forward 
to the servlet in a recursive way.

Is there any way to get a hold of a JSP-dispatcher when forwarding a 
request in order to do this?
