DefaultServlet (Apache Tomcat 8.5.58 API Documentation)

java.lang.Object
- javax.servlet.GenericServlet
- - javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
  - - org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Servlet, ServletConfig

Direct Known Subclasses:

WebdavServlet
```
public class DefaultServlet
extends HttpServlet
```
The default resource-serving servlet for most web applications, used to serve static resources such as HTML pages and images.

This servlet is intended to be mapped to / e.g.:
```
   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
 
```
It can be mapped to sub-paths, however in all cases resources are served from the web application resource root using the full path from the root of the web application context.
e.g. given a web application structure:
```
 /context
   /images
     tomcat2.jpg
   /static
     /images
       tomcat.jpg
 
```
... and a servlet mapping that maps only /static/* to the default servlet:
```
   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/static/*</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
 
```
Then a request to /context/static/images/tomcat.jpg will succeed while a request to /context/images/tomcat2.jpg will fail.
