Apache Tomcat/6.0.20
The default install of Railo I am using enables the handling of URLs such as:
*.cfm *.cfml *.cfc
But we need to also set up a handler for:
/index.cfm/*
These mappings are handled in the tomcat web.xml file.
The default settings are:
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CFMLServletservlet-name> <url-pattern>*.cfmurl-pattern> servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CFMLServletservlet-name> <url-pattern>*.cfmlurl-pattern> servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CFMLServletservlet-name> <url-pattern>*.cfcurl-pattern> servlet-mapping>
We need to add one more that reads:
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CFMLServletservlet-name> <url-pattern>/index.cfm/*url-pattern> servlet-mapping>
After restarting Railo, the SES URLs should start working.
This technique should hopefully work for any applications that use this URL technique, including Mango Blog, which will require a few extra similar mappings.
