Java Server

Servlet Aliasing (Beta)


Contents / Settings / Procedures / Buttons

The Servlet Alias page allows you to specify the pathname mapping rules that the Java Server uses to invoke servlets. These rules allow you to use a shortcut URL to call a servlet from your browser, or to embed the shortcut into your files. Java Server servlets can be called from within HTML documents (using server-side includes) or from within other java programs.

For more information on servlets, see Core Servlets and Java Server Overview.

Settings

The Servlet Alias page has the following fields:

URL Pathname
The relative pathname for the servlet. Pathnames are relative to the location where the Java Server is installed on your machine. For example, the URL Pathname for the cgi-bin servlet is /cgi-bin. However, the relative pathname is server_root/cgi-bin. If your server_root is actually /home/~erik/JavaServerBeta, your actual servlet URL pathname is /home/~erik/JavaServerBeta/cgi-bin.

Servlet Invoked
The name of the servlet being invoked. For example, once you have setup a servlet alias, you can connect to the servlet by entering the alias into a server-side include or URL.
