url mapping

[Frank]

Hi there,

In web.xml, I know it's possible to do path mapping:

<path-mapping url-pattern="/aaa/*" real-path="C:\TEMP\"/>

So a call to myserver.com/mywebapp/aaa will redirect to c:\temp.

Is it possible to do the same but with a URL?

e.g.:
<kind-of-url-mapping url-pattern="/bbb/*" real-url="http://www.google.com" />

Thanks!

Frank

I think you are mistaken. This tag is not part of the DTD for the Servlet
x.y deployment descriptor, at least not up until version 2.3. See for
yourself: <http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd>

/>

Here is one way of doing it:

(1) Create a servlet that will redirect incoming requests to
<http://www.google.com> .

(2) Define a servlet mapping in web.xml which maps "/bbb/*" to the servlet
you just created.

Your right, path mapping is not part of actual DTD. Actually it's a
node added by Resin container.

I will write a servlet unless there is no possible configuration.

Thank you Jonas.
