Hi,
Sorry that it took somewhat longer. The Mojarra build is a little less
trivial and I tried to get Tomcat 9 to work in Eclipse for easy debugging
but it didn't support it yet (eventually found out there's a WTP milestone
build that had Tomcat 9 support)
Anyway, it seems to work really great! I used the following test Servlet:
@WebServlet({"/exact", "/path/*", "*.ext"})
public class Servlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
Mapping mapping = request.getMapping();
response.getWriter()
.append("Mapping match:")
.append(mapping.getMatchType().name())
.append("\n")
.append("Match value:")
.append(mapping.getMatchValue())
.append("\n")
.append("Pattern:")
.append(mapping.getPattern());
}
}
Calling with
http://localhost:8080/servlet4/bla.ext
Prints:
Mapping match:EXTENSION
Match value:/bla
Pattern:*.ext
Calling with
http://localhost:8080/servlet4/path/bla
Prints:
Mapping match:PATH
Match value:/bla
Pattern:/path/*
Calling with
http://localhost:8080/servlet4/exact
Prints:
Mapping match:EXACT
Match value:/exact
Pattern:/exact
I'm planning to write a blog post about this next and add a sample/test for
it at the Java EE 8 samples project. Is the Tomcat 9 m4 Servlet jar in
Maven central or other Maven repo?
A question is how to proceed with this feature for other Servlet
containers, but that's probably best discussed at the Servlet EG list.
Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
