--- Comment #3 from Chuck Caldarale <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> 2010-09-29 12:34:42 EDT --- (In reply to comment #2) > No, there are no directories like that in `/static` folder. It actually refers > to the restricted directories in the context root. The standard DefaultServlet uses just HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo(), which is defined to return only extra path information - that which is beyond the mapping that selected the servlet. So, with the "/static/*" pattern and a URL of /context/static/WEB-INF/web.xml, the DefaultServlet went looking for "/WEB-INF/web.xml" - and found it. I think what would be best is to change the DefaultServlet so it includes both getServletPath() and getPathInfo() in its result string, rather than just one or the other. I haven't tried it yet, but I think the following replacement for the getRelativePath() method in DefaultServlet will work: protected String getRelativePath(HttpServletRequest request) { // Are we being processed by a RequestDispatcher.include()? if (request.getAttribute(Globals.INCLUDE_REQUEST_URI_ATTR) != null) { String result = (String)request.getAttribute(Globals.INCLUDE_PATH_INFO_ATTR); if (result == null) { result = (String)request.getAttribute(Globals.INCLUDE_SERVLET_PATH_ATTR); } if (result == null || result.equals("")) result = "/"; return result; } // No, extract the desired path directly from the request. String result = request.getPathInfo(); if (result == null) { result = request.getServletPath(); } else { result = request.getServletPath() + result; } if (result == null || result.equals("")) result = "/"; return result; } You could also write your own class that extends DefaultServlet, and override the getRelativePath() method with the above. - Chuck -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
