<jsp-file>

This tag specifies a JSP file to be used in a <servlet> definition.

This allows servlet-mappings to map various paths to JSP files instead of to a servlet.

Example Code

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>jsptester</servlet-name>
    <jsp-file>showpath.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>jsptester</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/tester/*<url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Hello, I am showpath.jsp.  The path you entered was: <%= request.getRequestURI() %>

http://yourwebsite/tester
http://yourwebsite/tester/
http://yourwebsite/tester/folder1
http://yourwebsite/tester/folder1/
http://yourwebsite/tester/folder1/test.htm
http://yourwebsite/tester/folder1/test.pdf
http://yourwebsite/tester/folder1/test.xls
