default servlet?

[Jonathan Soons <js...@juilliard.edu>]

The 2.3 API says :

A string containing only the '/' character denotes the default servlet.
The servlet path is the request URI minus the context. 

I cannot find any other mention of "default servlet"

I have many servlets. How do I make one of them the default for my application?

Hello Jonathan,

The container provides the default servlet for your webapp.  In fact,
the default servlet is what is responsible for returning static files
such as .xml, .html, and .png files (to name just a few).

You would have to set up a servlet mapping of something like "/*" in
order to have your own servlet be the default servlet.  I think that
is legal, but it isn't overly useful.  Let the container manage those
kinds of details and create a mapping to something like "/myservlet"
or map your servlet to a suffix such as "*.srv" (or whatever you
want).  That way, you don't impose on all the other static files and
JSP's and anything else that exists in a standard webapp.

Use the following servlet-mapping in your web.xml:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>My Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Any request that does not match all other mappings will go to 'My Servlet'
