silly servlet-mapping problem?

[russf]

Env:
JBoss 3.0.1RC1 & jetty
JBuilder 6

Here's my application.xml...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">

..<display-name>shopMain</display-name>
..
....shopMain.jar
..
..
....
......<web-uri>store.war</web-uri>
......<context-root>store</context-root>
....
..


and my web.xml...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
..
....<servlet-name>popdb</servlet-name>
....<servlet-class>com.topia.shopmain.web.PopDB</servlet-class>
....<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
..
..
....<servlet-name>y</servlet-name>
....<jsp-file>/x.jsp</jsp-file>
....<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
..
..<servlet-mapping>
....<servlet-name>popdb</servlet-name>
....<url-pattern>/popdbx</url-pattern>
..</servlet-mapping>
..<servlet-mapping>
....<servlet-name>y</servlet-name>
....<url-pattern>/yx</url-pattern>
..</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

So why do I receive the following responses to the following URL's:

http://localhost:8080/store/popdb OK
http://localhost:8080/store/popdbx HTTP ERROR: 404 Could not find resource for /store/popdbx

http://localhost:8080/store/x.jsp OK
http://localhost:8080/store/y HTTP ERROR: 404 Could not find resource for /store/y

The intention is that popdbx be an alias for popdb.
Likewise y for x.
Can anyone suggest an answer?

It does not help if context-root is /store
Jetty deploys fine, and I see popdb and y init messages. Not a class loading problem!

TIA,

im having the exact same problem. have you figured anything out?

Well I'm glad that I'm not the only one.
Have you found anything more in the meantime?

Below is part of a message I received back from Brett Sealey on the Jetty-support list. He makes some good points , but you can see that he's surprised that popdb works. IF it works, I'd want "y" to work, too, of course it does not. I've moved onto other parts of the project hoping for some understanding of the problem to come from this list. But after much redeployment and work on other jsp and ejb issues, I still have the problem. This says that the issue is not being "out of sync" with DD.

Can you post some data that we can refer people to?

Let's collaborate on this.

This should not be working based on the above config...


> http://localhost:8080/store/popdbx HTTP ERROR: 404 Could not find
> resource for /store/popdbx


This should be OK. Are you sure that you are really running the above config?

> http://localhost:8080/store/x.jsp OK
> http://localhost:8080/store/y HTTP ERROR: 404 Could not find resource
> for /store/y

There is no mapping for /store/y, you've only got one for /yx

You've no mapping for /popdb. The servlet name is just a logical name - it
is not used for match request URLs - that is what the url-pattern is for.
