Question

i need to direct url in my web server to be :

http://localhost:8080/console/myws/mymethod

i have servlet class called MyServlet
with some methods ( that in the end are web services converted with JAXWS)
how can i map this servlet to be in the tomcat server if it possible without changing the servlet class name:

http://localhost:8080/console/myws/mymethod

here is my web.xml configuration i just can’t make it work. i define console to be my Context root without the “/” just console

<listener>
        <listener-class>com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener</listener-class>
     </listener>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>jax-ws</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>jax-ws</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/myws/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>
            90
        </session-timeout>
</session-config>

also how can i debug the configuration in tomcat to check what i did wrong ?

Answer 1

Assuming that /console is the context path and the /mymethod is the path info, then you need to map the servlet on /myws/*.

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>yourServletName</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/myws/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The servlet class and name is totally independent from the URL pattern you choose, so you don’t need to change it as well at all.
