Ok. So for clarity, let's take a look at the table I added to [1],
rendered here in text form.
URI Path (in quotes) matchValue pattern mappingMatch
"" / / CONTEXT_ROOT
"/MyServlet" /MyServlet /MyServlet EXACT
"/foo.extension" /foo.extension /*.extension EXTENSION
"/path/foo" /path/foo /path/* PATH
The above is incorrect according to the desires of Arjan and Mark. I
have revised the table according to my understanding of the requested
change. ACTION: Please check this!
URI Path (in quotes) matchValue pattern mappingMatch
"" "" / CONTEXT_ROOT
"/MyServlet" MyServlet /MyServlet EXACT
"/foo.extension" foo /*.extension EXTENSION
"/path/foo" foo /path/* PATH
If there are any other illustrative rows anyone would like to see in
this table, please add them in reply to this email.
Please let me know by COB GMT-0800 Wednesday as I would like to lock
this down and move on.
Thanks,
Ed
