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.
