Re: Best Practice for mapping servlets SOLVED

[Dennis Muhlestein <de...@zserve.com>]

Thanks for the input.  I've come to the following conclusion that
seems to solve the problem.

Instead of applying a filter to *.do.  I applied it to /members/*.do
Then I changed the path of any protected page to /members/... .  I got
rid of the *.dm mapping.

This way, I don't have to extend a custom "protected" action class in
order to perform the session management.  I can still have unprotected
pages by placing them in any path besides one that starts with /members/
