Hi,
I have a question about the best way of doing something.
I'm writing an application where all requests would get routed to a Filter
(mapping: "/*"). So when I get a requests like "/some/page/in/the/web/" (which
does not actually live in the file system) I would forward to a Servlet or
handle appropriately. The problem is all web resources are being routed there
as well (js, css, images), is it possible to have all files and folders that do
exist on the file system get served normally and not through my Filter. I know
I can do a simple io check in the filter, but I was wondering if that's
actually the best/only way (one of my concerns is optimization)
For example in PHP or Python I would put something like this in the vhost:
(which is technically happening out side the application)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php [L]
Also I prefer not use 'Apache httpd' with 'tomcat'
Thank you
Demetri
