Servlet configuration

[Celson Lima <ce...@cstb.fr>]

Hi there,
I'm beginner with TOMCAT, which means maybe my question is too simple for
you, but it is really "advanced" to me. I would like get help with the
following: I have Cocoon installed together with TOMCAT and it is working
perfectly. I would like to use cocoon to handle the presentation issues of
my site. However, I would like to have my own "servlet",which means, I
would like to use my own directory (let's say, /webapps/cpl ) instead of
having my things inside the Cocoon's directory (/webapps/cocoon). My
problem starts when I try do display a xml page (lets say
/cpl/prms/getparms.xml) that is placed within my directory.
I configured my "/cpl/web.xml" as shown below and I think because of that
the invocation of "/cpl/prms/getparms.xml" is not sent to Cocoon rather to
my servlet "/cpl". Is this correct and if it is, is there anything I can do
in order to send that call directly to Cocoon?
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cpl</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/cpl</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Thank you in advance for your kind attention,
Celson

Celson,

3 things:

1. inside the webapps/cpl directory create another called WEB-INF 
(case-sensitive) and inside that put the web.xml.  
2. also in the WEB-INF directory create a classes directory and put your 
servlet in there.  
3. in the web.xml you will need a servlet definition if you want to map it by 
name, eg:
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>cpl</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>yourpackage.yourservlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

hope this helps.

cheers

it should be "<url-pattern>/cpl/*</url-pattern>" all
request would be passed to cpl when you say
http://somedomain.com/cpl/cpl/prms/getparms.xml

the "/prms/getparms.xml" will be passed to sevlet cpl
i havent tried this for a long time just give it a
try.
