Detailed analysis of web.xml file content

Detailed explanation of web.xml file

Preface: web.xml is used in general web projects. .xml is mainly used for configuration and can facilitate the development of web projects. web.xml is mainly used to configure Filter, Listener, Servlet, etc. But it should be noted that web.xml is not necessary. A web project does not need a web.xml file.

1. WEB project loading web.xml process

After personal testing, WEB The project loading order has nothing to do with the configuration order of element nodes in the file. That is, filter will not be loaded first because filter is written before listener. The loading sequence of the WEB container is: ServletContext -> context-param -> listener -> filter -> servlet. And these elements can be configured anywhere in the file.

The loading process sequence is as follows:

1. When starting a WEB project, the WEB container will read its The configuration file web.xml reads the two nodes and .

2. #Emergency, create a ServletContext (servlet context), all parts of this web project will share this context.

3. The container converts into a key-value pair and hands it to servletContext.

4. The container creates a class instance in and creates a listener.

##2. Detailed explanation of web.xml file elements

1. schema

The schema file of web.xml is defined by Sun. The root element of each web.xml file is , must indicate which schema file this web.xml uses. All other elements are placed in .

<?xml  version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><web-app></web-app>

　2. Web application icon

## Indicates that IDE and GUI tools are used to represent Web applications of large and small icons.

<icon>
    <small-icon>/images/app_small.gif</small-icon>
    <large-icon>/images/app_large.gif</large-icon></icon>

　

3. Web application name## Provide GUI tools that may be used to mark A name for this specific Web application

<display-name>Tomcat Example</display-name>

　4. Descriptive text related to this

<disciption>Tomcat Example servlets and JSP pages.</disciption>

　5, Context parameter

Declaration application Initialization parameters within the range. It is used to provide key-value pairs, that is, application context information, to the ServletContext. Our listeners, filters, etc. will use the information in these contexts during initialization. In the servlet, it can be obtained through getServletContext().getInitParameter("context/param").

<context-param>
    <param-name>ContextParameter
    <param-value>test</param-value>
    <description>It is a test parameter.</description></param-name></context-param>

　6.Filter

##　 Combine a name with an implementation of javaxs.servlet.Filter The interface is associated with the class.

<filter>
    <filter-name>setCharacterEncoding</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.myTest.setCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>encoding</param-name>
        <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
    </init-param></filter><filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>setCharacterEncoding</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern></filter-mapping>

　7.Listener

<listener> 
    <listerner-class>com.listener.SessionListener </listerner-class></listener>

　8.

##　 is used to declare the data of a servlet. It mainly has the following sub-elements:

Specify the name of the servlet

#

-class> Specifies the class name of the servlet

• ## Specifies the complete content of a JSP web page in the web site Path

• is used to define parameters. There can be multiple init-params. Access initialization parameters through the getInitParamenter(String name) method in the servlet class

• 指定当Web应用启动时，装载Servlet的次序。当值为正数或零时：Servlet容器先加载数值小的servlet，再依次加载其他数值大的servlet。当值为负或未定义：Servlet容器将在Web客户首次访问这个servlet时加载它。

• 用来定义servlet所对应的URL，包含两个子元素

• 指定servlet的名称

• 指定servlet所对应的URL

<!-- 基本配置 --><servlet>
    <servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>SnoopServlet</servlet-class></servlet><servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/snoop</url-pattern></servlet-mapping><!-- 高级配置 --><servlet>
    <servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>SnoopServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>foo</param-name>
        <param-value>bar</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <run-as>
        <description>Security role for anonymous access</description>
        <role-name>tomcat</role-name>
    </run-as></servlet><servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/snoop</url-pattern></servlet-mapping>

　　9、会话超时配置

　　单位为分钟。

<session-config>
    <session-timeout>120</session-timeout></session-config>

　　10、

<mime-mapping>
    <extension>htm</extension>
    <mime-type>text/html</mime-type></mime-mapping>

　　11、欢迎文件页

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file></welcome-file-list>

　　12、错误页面

<!-- 1、通过错误码来配置error-page。当系统发生×××错误时，跳转到错误处理页面。 --><error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/NotFound.jsp</location></error-page><!-- 2、通过异常的类型配置error-page。当系统发生java.lang.NullException（即空指针异常）时，跳转到错误处理页面。 --><error-page>
    <exception-type>java.lang.NullException</exception-type>
    <location>/error.jsp</location></error-page>

　　13、设置jsp

　　 包括  和  两个子元素。其中 元素在JSP 1.2 时就已经存在；而 是JSP 2.0 新增的元素。

　　 元素主要有八个子元素，它们分别为：

• ：设定的说明 

• ：设定名称 

• ：设定值所影响的范围，如： /CH2 或 /*.jsp

• ：若为 true，表示不支持 EL 语法 

• ：若为 true，表示不支持 语法 

• ：设定 JSP 网页的编码 

• ：设置 JSP 网页的抬头，扩展名为 .jspf

• ：设置 JSP 网页的结尾，扩展名为 .jspf

<jsp-config>
    <taglib>
        <taglib-uri>Taglib</taglib-uri>
        <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/MyTaglib.tld</taglib-location>
    </taglib>
    <jsp-property-group>
        <description>Special property group for JSP Configuration JSP example.</description>
        <display-name>JSPConfiguration</display-name>
        <url-pattern>/jsp/* </url-pattern>
        <el-ignored>true</el-ignored>
        <page-encoding>GB2312</page-encoding>
        <scripting-invalid>true</scripting-invalid>
        <include-prelude>/include/prelude.jspf</include-prelude>
        <include-coda>/include/coda.jspf</include-coda>
    </jsp-property-group></jsp-config>

　　对于Web 应用程式来说，Scriptlet 是个不乐意被见到的东西，因为它会使得HTML 与Java 程式码交相混杂，对于程式的维护来说相当的麻烦，必要的时候，可以在web.xml 中加上 标签，设定所有的JSP 网页都不可以使用Scriptlet。

3、Mapping规则

　　当一个请求发送到servlet容器的时候，容器先会将请求的url减去当前应用上下文的路径作为servlet的映射url，比如我访问的是http://localhost/test/aaa.html，我的应用上下文是test，容器会将http://localhost/test去掉，剩下的/aaa.html部分拿来做servlet的映射匹配。这个映射匹配过程是有顺序的，而且当有一个servlet匹配成功以后，就不会去理会剩下的servlet了。

　　其匹配规则和顺序如下：

1. 精确路径匹配。例子：比如servletA 的url-pattern为 /test，servletB的url-pattern为 /* ，这个时候，如果我访问的url为http://localhost/test ，这个时候容器就会先 进行精确路径匹配，发现/test正好被servletA精确匹配，那么就去调用servletA，也不会去理会其他的servlet了。

2. Longest path matching. Example: The url-pattern of servletA is /test/*, and the url-pattern of servletB is /test/a/*. When accessing http://localhost/test/a, the container will select the servlet with the longest path. Match, which is servletB here.

3. #Extension matching, if the last segment of the URL contains an extension, the container will select the appropriate servlet based on the extension. Example: servletA's url-pattern: *.action

Starting with "/" and ending with "/*" are used for path mapping. Things starting with the prefix "*." are used for extended mapping. So, why is it wrong to define a seemingly normal match like "/*.action"? Because this match belongs to both path mapping and extended mapping. The container cannot determine
