mapping GET query with spring and tomcat

Searching since yesterday, but I only get adance method. I use spring with tomcat and I want to handle the get paramter. But for that what I need first is to succefully map the url. (an example, /store.htm?id=X) At the begining I match every .htm url with

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myapp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

In my web.xml

I handle them with for example 

<bean name="/main.htm" class="package.to.my.Controller">
<property name="aManager" ref="aManager"/>
</bean>

and it works, but when I want to use some get parameter with an url like /store.htm?id=X the mapping didn't work anymore.

I tryed several pattern like 

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myapp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm?id=*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

or

<url-pattern>*.htm*

nothing seems to work.. How could I handle that ?

(I based myself on the tutorial of spring 2.5 on the official website).

Thanks for your help

Solution

  • The mapping doesn't care about the query string. It only cares about the path of the URL. A request to /main.htm?id=foo will be mapped to myapp since *.htm is mapped to myapp.
