6.6.8.0.11: Assembly properties for servlet mapping
A servlet mapping is a correspondence between a client request and a
servlet. Servlet containers use URL paths to map client requests to
servlets, and follow the URL path-mapping rules as specified in the Java
Servlet specification. The container uses the URI from the request,
minus the context path, as the path to map to a servlet. The container
chooses the longest matching available context path from the list of Web
applications that it hosts.
- URL pattern (Required, String)
- Specifies the URL pattern of the mapping. The URL pattern must
conform to the Servlet specification. The following syntax must be
used:
- A string beginning with a slash character (/) and ending with the slash
and asterisk characters (/*) is used as a path mapping.
- A string beginning with the characters *. is used as an extension
mapping.
- All other strings are used as exact matches only.
- A string containing only the slash character (/) indicates that the
servlet specified by the mapping becomes the default servlet of the
application. In this case, the servlet path is the request URI minus
the context path, and the path info is null.
- Servlet (Required, String)
- Specifies the name of the servlet associated with the URL pattern.
