    <p>I think I may know what is going on.</p> <p>In your working web.xml you have set your servlet to be the default servlet (/ by itself is the default servlet called if there are no other matches), it will answer any request that doesn't match another mapping.</p> <p>In Failed 1 your /* mapping does appear to be a valid path mapping. With the /* mapping in web.xml it answers all requests except other path mappings. According to the specification extension mappings are implicit mappings that are overwritten by explicit mappings. That's why the extension mapping failed. Everything was explicitly mapped to app.</p> <p>In Failed 2, App is responsible for everything, except content that matches the static content mapping. To show what is happening in the quick test I set up. Here is an example. <code>/some-static-content-folder/</code> contains <code>test.png</code></p> <p>Trying to access test.png I tried:</p> <pre><code>/some-static-content-folder/test.png </code></pre> <p>and the file was not found. However trying</p> <pre><code>/some-static-content-folder/some-static-content-folder/test.png </code></pre> <p>it comes up. So it seems that the Tomcat default servlet (6.0.16 at least) drops the servlet mapping and will try to find the file by using the remaining path. According to this post <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/132052">Servlet for serving static content</a> Jetty gives the behavior you and I were expecting.</p> <p>Is there some reason you can't do something like map a root directory for your rest calls. Something like app mapped to /rest_root/* than you are responsible for anything that goes on in the rest_root folder, but anywhere else should be handled by Tomcat, unless you make another explicit mapping. I suggest setting your rest servlet to a path mapping, because it declares the intent better. Using / or /* don't seem appropriate, since you have to map out the exceptions. Using SO as an example, my rest mappings would be something like</p> <blockquote> <p>/users/* for the user servlet</p> <p>/posts/* for the posts servlet</p> </blockquote> <p>Mapping order</p> <ol> <li>Explicit (Path mappings)</li> <li>Implicit (Extension mappings)</li> <li>Default (/)</li> </ol> <p>Please correct anything that I got wrong.</p>

    2. COIf /* is already mapped to "app" servlet, what do you gain from mapping "/" as well?

    3. COThere is no gain from mapping out / if you use /*, since it won't ever get called. The disadvantage to /*, is that you will need to handle everything, where with / you can still setup extension mappings.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
