Jeeves File Aliasing


This section contains rules used by Jeeves when serving web documents. The translation rules map the virtual path contained in the URL to a real path name on the disk. The order in which these rules are specified is not important i.e the longest match will always be used. Thus file mappings can be dynamically added or deleted using the web based administration tool.

Administrator can directly edit the mappings in the administration file aliases.properties; but this method is not recommended as the changes will only come into effect next time the server reads the file on restart. Also the file format might change with future release.


Jeeves Servlet Aliasing

A servlet can be invoked transperently when a browser asks for a document that is dynamically generated by a servlet. Servlet aliasing is a way of telling the server which output file is generated by which servlet. Thus servlet mappings can be dynamically added or deleted using the web based administration tool.

Administrator can directly edit the servlet aliases in the administration file rules.properties; but this method is not recommended as the changes will only come into effect next time the server reads the file on restart. Also the file format might change with future release.
