URL MappingTop
The 2.5 Servlet specification allows us to build URL patterns in four different ways as well as applying rules when we have multiple matches for a URL pattern.
Once a match is made, matching terminates and the request is processed.
| Match Type | URL Pattern Rule | Example | Example Matches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exact match | String that must begin with / | /aServlet | /aServlet |
| Directory match | String that must begin with / and end with /* | /aServlet/* | /aServlet/one/aServlet/one/two/aServlet/one/two/somePage.html |
| Extension match | String that must begin with * | *.html | /one.html/anything/two.html/anything/anything/three.html |
| Default Match | String that must just be / | / | URLs that don't match with anything else |
