Parsing URL Filter URLs

I have below view of filter displaying my web xml. But the deployment fails. Is there any alternative? thank

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping> <!-- this works -->

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/Application/*.html</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping> <!-- this doesn't work with parsing error as below-->

Mistake

I am afraid that the mixing by suffix and prefix matching, as in /Application/*.html

, is not supported. You need to match one of the following patterns:

  • /Application/*

    (everything with a prefix /Application

    will be displayed)
  • /*.html

    (all with a suffix html

    will be displayed)


If you want to combine them together, you can match the prefix (first option) with a proxy servlet that will parse the url in the request and redirect it to the appropriate servlet using ServletContext.html # getNamedDispatcher and forward(req, resp)

like this for a servlet named application-html

:

if (request.getRequestURI().endsWith(".html")) {
  request.getServletContext()
    .getNamedDispatcher("application-html")
    .forward(request, response)
}
