javascript - URL Routes with Java Servlets -

i wanted know if there way similar code in java servlet in express.js

in express can example:

app.get('/:name',function(bla bla)){} 

the :/name parameter in url of can

localhost/kevin localhost/joe 

or whatever... great because can take example name (request.params.name) , it. , great because there no limit(as far know) how many routes can create, serves placeholder.

is there way can using java servlets?? want able have html page when click button goes localhost/button1 if click button goes localhost/button2.. , on.. i'm letting user create buttons dynamically don't want create jsp pages beforehand, want servletto create one..?

thanks

almost. of prefix mapping /foo/* , httpservletrequest#getpathinfo().

@webservlet("/name/*") public class nameservlet extends httpservlet {      @override     protected void doget(httpservletrequest request, httpservletresponse response) throws servletexception, ioexception {         string name = request.getpathinfo().substring(1);         // ...     }  } 

invoke as

• http://localhost:8080/context/name/kevin
• http://localhost:8080/context/name/joe
• ...

you can optionally map servlet on /*, act global front controller isn't idea you'd have take static resources css/js/images , such account.

in case intend create rest service, rather @ jax-rs instead of "plain vanilla" servlets. further reduce boilerplate code. see a.o. servlet vs restful.
