dynamic urls


Hi
I want my URLs as
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/2345
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/23349
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/345

all mapped to the same servlet, none are static.

Note that I do not want:
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet?23349
which is straightforward, but
http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/23349


How can I do it?

thanks

You want path mapping.  Something like:

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/MyServlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

This will forward all requests matching /webapps/MyServlet/* to myservlet.

The Request object will break this URL down like this:
requestURI = contextPath + servletPath + pathInfo

http://localhost:8080/webapp/MyServlet/23349 =
  /webapp  +  /MyServlet  + /23349


later.
