Question

i wonder if there’s a way to enable or disable servlets (or at least mappings for servlets) other than web.xml. I have multiple kinds of servers which use the same web.xml (i can’t change this) so this is why another way of enabling/disabling servlets would be useful.

Thanks,
Teo

Answer 1

You could use @WebServlet annotation with servlet 3.0 onwards, not sure if this will work for your requirement, please comment if this isn’t the way you want to

@WebServlet("/hello")
public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {
// code code code
}
