web.xml format
Just a simple question -- if I want to use an ampersand (or other
character that is significant in XML), do I need to escape it with an
entity in the web.xml ?
For instance, is this valid:
<context-param>
<param-name>dbConnectUrl</param-name>
<param-value>
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/eprice?user=eprice&password=pass
</param-value>
</context-param>
(Note entity used in querystring of URL.)
Also, is okay to have the URL there on its own line, or will the
whitespace before and after the URL be added to any
getServletContext().getInitParameter() calls?
Thanks!
Erik

Hi Vladimer,
look for servlet mapping in the archive and/or in the servlet
spec.
In web.xml you can put a servlet mapping like
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>webdav</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
which routs every request to the servlet, which's name is
webdav.
You might want a mapping like the next one, but I'm not sure, as
I've never done this before.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xxxx</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/xxxx</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Look into <servlet-mappng> element in the web.xml.
If you are not already familiar with this, you really need a good book like
Java Servlet Programming from Jason Hunter. This is pretty basic stuff.

Posted by Vladimer Shioshvili <vs...@qrc.com>.
for some reason i remember seeing somewhere that i can painlessly change
how servlets are accessed. by this i mean removing /servlet for URI path
and using xx.com/xxxx instead of xx.com/servlet/xxxx.
any help appreciated,
Vlad

No, it was just a "curious" question. Especially about the whitespace
around the dbConnectUrl's param-value. But I am going to just test that
out right now myself.

Everything should be just fine with your current setup. Are you noticing
problems with it?

Yes -- in fact, it's required, because otherwise you will get an XML
parsing error.

The container strips leading and trailing whitespace from init parameter
values before storing them, so having it on a separate line is fine.
