    <p>I've written a simple Front Controller for my Java EE application. This controller intercepts all the urls to redirect them to the corresponding method in the right class.</p> <p>A typical url looks like this: <a href="http://domain.tld/appName/Controller/method" rel="nofollow">http://domain.tld/appName/Controller/method</a></p> <p>I'm facing 3 issues with tomcat at the moment:</p> <ol> <li>If I try to access to my base url, <a href="http://domain.tld/appName/" rel="nofollow">http://domain.tld/appName/</a> (with or without the ending slash), my front controller isn't called and I've got a 404.</li> <li>If I try to access to an url like this: domain.tld/appName/Controller/method/ (remark the ending slash) same thing than point number 1. But without the ending slash it works fine.</li> <li>Finally, since all my requests are routing to my front controller I have to define all the static file to be served to the default servlet, in my web.xml. A less contraining and ugly solution would be nice.</li> </ol> <p>Here is my web.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0"&gt; &lt;servlet&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;FrontController&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;servlet-class&gt;controllers.FrontController&lt;/servlet-class&gt; &lt;/servlet&gt; &lt;servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;FrontController&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;/&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;default&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;*.html&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;default&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;*.jpg&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;default&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;*.png&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;default&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;*.css&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;default&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;*.js&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;/web-app&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COI found the solution to all my issues. I rewrote the front controller to have a better routing support and everything works fine now. The web.xml doesn't not contain the static files support anymore.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
