[jira] Commented: (COCOON-1938) [Patch] Allow blocks mounted at "/" to handle more than just the "/" URL

Daniel Fagerstrom commented on COCOON-1938:
-------------------------------------------

IMO "/style.css" and "/index.html" are not mounted on "/" but on "". With this intepretation the implementation works, although it might be somewhat subtle and should be documented. If we compare with web.xml the "root" servlet is mounted on "/*" rather than on "/", but that requires wildcard handling which I found to be overkill.

We could introduce special handling for "/" as you suggest, but in that case the equation: uri = contextPath + servletPath + mountPath + pathInfo, will not be valid anymore. Opinions?

> The current DispatcherServlet allows for blocks mounted at "/" only the simple "/" URL to be handled because all other cases (eg. "/style.css" or "/index.html") will be interpreted as blocks - and because these don't exist, the matching will fail.
> For this case, I added a short piece of code that will allow to handle such cases for the root block.
