servlets path in tomcat 3.3

[mperreno <mp...@iismail.unil.ch>]

Is it possible to use non-standard paths for servlet i.e. use map anything 
after the context name to servlets:
www.foobar.com/foo/SnoopServlet
instead of
www.foobar.com/foo/servlet/SnoopServlet

I managed to do it with tomcat 3.2 but I can't do it with tomcat 3.3

thanks

That's fine for a couple of servlets, but I have more than 6500 servlets, I 
can't map them all by hand.
In Tomcat 3.2, the RequestInvoker had a prefix argument which could be used 
to redirect matching paths to servlets

<RequestInterceptor
            className="org.apache.tomcat.request.InvokerInterceptor"
            debug="0" prefix="/servlet/" />

With prefix="/", I could forward any request to servlets without using 
"/servlet/" in the url.
Where is the RequestInterceptor gone?

Add a servlet-mapping to your web.xml file.

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