Hi ! I am trying to learn how to map a request URL to a url pattern in deployment descriptor. I got all the answers right, but I am not sure if the thought process is correct.
Please help me to confirm or make changes in the reasoning.
1) http://localhost:8080/MapTest/blue.do
Container choice: DeployTestOne (matched the *.do extension pattern)
Exact match check: Is there a URL pattern in DD which is exactly = /MapTest/blue.do ? NO.
Directory match check: Is there any URL pattern in DD for directory /MapTest ? NO.
Extension match: Is there a pattern in DD for files with extension .do ? Yes !
Select DeployTestOne !
Question - When doing an Exact match check, does the container look for blue.do in DD or does it look for /MapTest/blue.do ?
2) http://localhost:8080/MapTest/fooStuff/bar/blue.do
Container choice: DeployTestThree (matched the /fooStuff/* directory pattern)
Exact match check: Is there a URL pattern in DD which is exactly = /MapTest/fooStuff/bar/blue.do ? NO.
Directory match check: Is there any URL pattern in DD for directory /MapTest/fooStuff/bar ? Yes !
Go for the url pattern for longest pat, that is, /fooStuff/*
Question - When doing the directory match check, does the Container look for /MapTest/fooStuff/bar/ or just /fooStuff/bar ?
