Configuring Component Mappings 

Use

You can use the Component Mappings function to define mappings, which are used to request servlets or filters that are part of the Web module. Two types of mappings can be defined:

●     URL mappings

These can be defined for servlets as well as for filters. With URL mapping you define a URL pattern that the corresponding servlet or filter should respond to if this pattern appears in the request URL.

·        Servlet mappings

These can be defined for filters only. With servlet mapping you specify that the filter is to be executed when the servlet it is mapped to is requested.
