[Yanel-dev] Extend Yanel by own servlets

[basZero]

Hi,

I want to extend my realm by a resource that can handle multipart POST
requests according to the Servlet Spec 3.0.

In order to make use of the Servlet 3.0 features, the servlet class must be
annotated by @MultipartConfig, e.g.

@MultipartConfig
public class YanelMultipartServlet extends HttpServlet {
  ...
}

Currently I think everything is mapped to the YanelServlet in web.xml

My question is: how should I extend Yanel?
What probably has to be done:

- Somehow extend web.xml so that a certain realm path gets mapped to the
new YanelMultipartServlet
- Maybe YanelMultipartServlet can be a subclass of YanelServlet, which then
would find out the mapped resource and the processing of the request could
still be done in the resource.

So, how should I do this?

Use Case why I need this:
in Servlet 3.0 you can easily process all parts in a multipart request like
this:
Collection<Part> parts = request.getParts();

Then you can iterate over all parts.

But the getParts() method only works correctly if the servlet is annotated
by @MultipartConfig

Cheers, Balz
