url-pattern troubles...
Ok, this should have been simple. But Tomcat doesn't seem to be doing what I thought it would-
I have a bunch of jsp files under a directory called "protected". I want a filter to be invoked when these files are accessed. I also have a directory called "includes" under "protected". I DON'T want the filter to be invoked when files under "includes" are accessed. I cannot change this directory structure. I used the pattern "/protected/*.jsp" for the filter in question and hoped that Tomcat will realize that I want the filter invoked only for those files under "protected". However, Tomcat doesn't like the pattern (I get a stacktrace- Invalid url-pattern...). Tomcat doesn't complain about "/*.jsp" or "/protected/*" (except it invokes the filter for all the files under "/protected/includes"), but it complains about "/protected/*.jsp". So, whats the pattern to use?
Thanks,
Av.

The annoying thing about it is, that you cannot use a pattern that says
"ignore /protected/include".
Thus, you must specify patterns for all subdirectories that shall be
protected separately.

The url-pattern isn't a wide-open regexp, so I think you'll have to
change your Filter to ignore the "includes" subdirectory, unless you
can differentiate based on the request type (client request, forward,
include -- see SRV.6.2.5).

Posted by Martin Gainty <mg...@hotmail.com>.
in /WEB-INF/web.xml you have something like
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ServletName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>package.ServletClass</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ServletName</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/Servlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
/servlet/Servlet maps to 'ServletName' identifier
'ServletName' identifier is served by package.ServletClass
