http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42411 Summary: DefaultServlet should use ServletPath + PathInfo Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.23 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] currently the DefaultServlet only uses PathInfo to locate the file to serve. i think it should use ServletPath + PathInfo to serve the file. as it is now, it is impossible to use a servlet mapping like this: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> if you make a request for '/images/blah.gif', ServletPath = '/images' and PathInfo = '/blah.gif'. so DefaultServlet will try to serve '/blah.gif' which doesn't exist because it is in the '/images/' directory. if it used ServletPath + PathInfo, it will work as expected. making this change will not affect the current standard usage of DefaultServlet (where its mapped to '/') because in that case ServletPath is null, so it only uses PathInfo. it will also still work if people use a suffix mapping. in the other case, where its is used with a path mapping like '/images/*', the current behavior seems almost useless. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
