Dear all,
I'm faceing the following problem in tomcat (probably just
configuration).
I have a WEBAPP which uses the "invoker" servlet (i know how
bad it is, but for now it gets the job done).
The static content is under "/images/" path.
So a tipical URL was like
"http://host:8080/webapp/servlet/home";.
To avoid the "servlet" part of the URL I layed hands in
"web.xml".
This is the result:
<web-app>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
The problem is that static content is not shown under
"images", it is shown under "images/images".
For example:
http://host:8080/webapp/images/help.png
ERROR
http://host:8080/webapp/images/images/help.png OK
In order to keep things as tidy as possible I would like
static content to be served under "images".
Using ROOT is not an option because this tomcat is shared
among several WEBAPPS.
Is there anything wrong with my configuration or am I
missing something?
