refering to default content handler

[Dmitry Koval <ko...@donapex.net>]

Hi.

In my configuration I have a servlet that is default handler for all my
content.
It declared in web.xml as follows:

<servlet-mapping>
	<servlet-name>controller</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

In this case my controller is responsible for all the requests.
The problem appears when client need to load an image. I have to read a
file and send it to client in my servlet.
And that way with all static data. I have to find what the file type is,
find appropriate mime mapping then read it and so on.
I actually don't like this approach because I think delegating this task
to default tomcat handler makes more sense.

May I write something like this in addition to my config? :
<servlet-mapping>
	<servlet-name>org.apache.defaultContentHandler</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/images</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

So I'd like have everything handled by my controller except /images
handled by default tomcat handler.

Or maybe there's some other elegant solution?

Thanks for attention.
