mapping url requests to spring but with exceptions

[m00b13s]

Hey Guys,

I am trying to get all requests going into the spring dispatcher servlet but with exceptions.

So, I want urls such as

/myapp/this
/myapp/that/and
/myapp/that/and/the-other

Into Spring. But I do not want

/images/*
/css/*

Handled by Spring.

Can anyone suggest a way of doing this? Right now I can get all requests or no requests going into Spring.

I do not want to use a servlet url-mapping that specifies an extension.

E.g. I do not want to use a mapping of *.ext as I find this a little ugly/antiquated and specific to java servlet development.

ok so i guess i can create an extra path segment /app/ (not ideal though)

servlet:
<url-pattern>/app/*</url-pattern>

handler:
/home=homeController

would be good to achieve this without the extra path segment ...

You are allowed to use multiple mappings for a servlet :

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>spring-servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/this/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>spring-servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/that/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
