Re: issue with servlet-mapping

Question

Hello,
i got following url pattern on web xml and it works fine on resin, however,
its gives me, java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid pattern,
is there is a anyway to fix it without altering the file structure.
<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>FacesServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/jsf/*.jsf</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

Answer 1

Wildcards(*) can be used either at the beginning or end of the pattern.You cannot specify wildcards in the middle of the pattern.
So, only either of these will work
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>FacesServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>Or
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>FacesServlet</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/jsf/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
