As the org.xmlwiki.* was added to the already-long URL, I decide to actually
read a bit about server.xml and web.xml to simplify the mapping from URL to
servlet.
Under the WEB-INF directory of the servlet in question (ie. ServletSpike),
create a 'web.xml' file with contents similar to the one I attached. The
will map the portion of the URL after the /ServletSpike to a specific class,
like org.xmlwiki.PreviewPage. In your 'server.xml' file in the Tomcat /conf
directory, add the following context:
<Context path="/xmlWiki"
docBase="webapps/ServletSpike"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >
</Context>
This maps everything after the base address to the proper servlet directory.
The net result of these two minor changes:
old - http://127.0.0.1:8080/ServletSpike/servlet/org.xmlwiki.PreviewPage
new - http://127.0.0.1:8080/xmlWiki
Much cleaner...
Enjoy,
Jim
