SimpleFileServlet restricted by file type

[Michael Strickler]

I have a need to serve some files from the SimpleFileServlet and some
files from the Web Server, because some are actually ASP pages that need
to be processed by IIS. Is there a way of limiting match string that
SimpleFileServlet will allow. I've tried changing the server web path
list to something like *.html, but that didn't work. Are there some
init parameters that can be specified on the Advanced tab to do this?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Any servlet should only respond to requests that match the patterns
you specify. When you say that this didn't work what behaviour did
you see? When you made your changes did you check that your plugin
config was updated accordingly? I'd restart everything after making
the change.

I set the Servlet Web Path List to default_host/app_name/*.html
Then, I regenerated the plugin and started the server. Then, I try to display
the file html/Not_Logged_In.html and the error I get is something like this...

Error 403

An error has occured while processing
request:http://localhost/app_name/html/Not_Logged_In.html
