Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and to identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client.
By not specifying which files can and which files cannot be served to a user, the web server could deliver to a user web server configuration files, log files, password files, etc.
As a derivative of the Apache Tomcat project, tc Server is a java-based web server. As a result, the main file extension used by tc Server is “*.jsp”. This check ensures that the “*.jsp” file type has been properly mapped to servlets. |
