SRV.11.2 Specification of Mappings
In theWeb application deployment descriptor, the following syntax is used to define
mappings:
• A string beginning with a ‘/’ character and ending with a ‘/*’ suffix is used
for path mapping.
• A string beginning with a ‘*.’ prefix is used as an extension mapping.
• A string containing only the ’/’ character indicates 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.
• All other strings are used for exact matches only.
SRV.11.2.1 Implicit Mappings
If the container has an internal JSP container, the *.jsp extension is mapped to it,
allowing JSP pages to be executed on demand. This mapping is termed an implicit
mapping. If a *.jsp mapping is defined by the Web application, its mapping takes
precedence over the implicit mapping.
A servlet container is allowed to make other implicit mappings as long as
explicit mappings take precedence. For example, an implicit mapping of
*.shtml could be mapped to include functionality on the server.
