I have a jsp act as a servlet like:
<servlet-name>myJspServlet</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/myJspServlet.jsp</jsp-file>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MainLayout</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.my</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
mean all of request with .my should be processed by the servlet witch represented by myJspServlet.jsp
on the myJspServlet.jsp, I output the result of pageContext.getRequestUri()
I did some exprement, but the result are diffrent.
on JBoss 3.2.3 which based on tomcat4.1,
if I request page /abc/a.my, I got /abc/a.my (I call it result A)
if I request page/abc/f.jsp, witch do pageContext.forward("/abc/a.my"); I got /myJspServlet.jsp (I call it result B)
further, if I change
<jsp-file>/myJspServlet.jsp</jsp-file>
to
<servlet-class>org.apache.jsp.myJspServlet_jsp</servlet-class>
I always get result B no matter the request was sent directly or by forward.
on tomcat 5.0. I always get result B no matter the request was sent directly or by forward , even I use <jsp-file> in web.xml
what's result is correct. is it just a bug in old tomcat. what does specification say(I red, but not clear to me).
Thanks
