REST URL mapping with parameter in web.xml

Question

What url-pattern should we be putting in web.xml for making my servlet listen on this path, /{name}/servlet?

Here, name is a variable so I should be able to listen on http:8080//testproject/xyz/servlet

or

http:8080//testproject/abc/servlet.

Here xyz is a variable name. This is basically a REST URL with parameters, though i can use @Path and @PathParam, but I want to do it in web.xml only.

<servlet-name> A </servlet-name>
<url-pattern> /{}/sevlet </url-pattern>

Any clues to what put for variable string in the url

You can look into servlet filters

but using Servlet filters I have to code for filtering every possible request. which is quite messy – rm21 Jun 23 '11 at 07:02
