Subject: Re: JspServlet - Unexpected behavior, possible bug...
by default servlet I mean the servlet mapped to "/" or "/*"
And right there is your terminology problem. The default servlet is
the one mapped to "/"; anything mapped to "/*" is _not_ the default
servlet, but due to servlet spec rules, it will receive all
otherwise unmatched requests, since "/*" is a longer string than
"/"; the default servlet will never see any requests in this case.
OK, I guess I wasn't clear on the details of this. That precisely fits
the behaviors I have been seeing.
Having both means that you the same page here:
context/
and here:
context/hyrax/
Which has been the expected behavior.
Assuming that the word left out of the first sentence is "see" (or
equivalent), the "/hyrax" mapping is still redundant; removing it
will still get a match due to "/*" for the hyrax servlet.
That's true - but the webapp will not return the same page as context/
I realize that this is truly perverse, but the idea is that you get
the same exact page both an contex/ and context/hyrax/ the reason you
don't is because the hyrax servlet returns pages that allow the user
to browse a directed graph of holdings. When you leave out the /hyrax/
* mapping then the url that ends in context/ will return the top of
these holdings ("/"in a relative sense), and the url that ends in
context/hyrax/ will return the holdings (if they exisit) for the top
level collection called hyrax ("/hyrax/"). The desired result is for
both context/ and context/hyrax/ to return the exact same page, the
top ("/") of the hyrax servlets holdings.
No, but if you assign a servlet to "/" or "/*" it gets call
foreverything before anything starting with "*".
Not true; "/*" will beat "*.jsp", but "/" does not beat "*.jsp".
Check the rules in the spec.
I did in fact read the spec. but I guess I didn't fully get this bit.
Maybe we need to see all of your servlet mappings in your web.xml.
