Filtering URL with vaadin
Hello!
In my web.xml, I have two application servlets, one mapping to /* and another to /edit/* !
However, everything goes through servlet mapped by /*. Ok! /edit/* matches /* that makes sense...
But how can I overcome this?
I have already tried to implement a filter class on the url-pattern /* so that I could redirect according to the url itself
But when I get the requested url inside my filter class, I got names like UIDL.. and so I can't evaluate which is the url the user has typed.
Any idea would be appreciated..
PS:. I really need this kind of mapping:
/* -> servlet 1
/edit/* -> servlet2
Regards

Sorry, I just realized my problem is a bit different... (nothing like a sleeping night)
The point is not that /edit/* is being redirect to the same url-pattern as /* but there is a security-constraint tag that redirects /edit/* to /Login.jsp which matches to /* then...
Ideas about how to solve this are still wellcome :-)

FYI
I did manage to solve this using UrlRewriteFilter third library... now it's working :-)

Sounds like the root problem is that a call to /Login.jsp matches your /* pattern, right? Simple solution: add a servlet and mapping for that JSP file. E.g.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/Login.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
and
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Login.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I've done a bunch of this kind of thing recently. I promise I'll write a blog about it and share here "real soon." What's cool about the above is that you can actually use it with "hidden" JSP files, for instance ones under WEB-INF/jsps that a servlet forwards to. What's not cool is that X JSPs need X declarations and X mappings (as far as I can tell).
