Description zikmund 2005-09-02 10:21:56 UTC 
Build 20050902-0547

1) Have a WebApp with a servlet
2) Open DD editor | Servlets | servlet
3) Edit servlet's URL pattern to empty
4) ERROR:
No error message, although empty URL pattern is invalid.
Comment 1 zikmund 2005-09-02 10:40:31 UTC 
BTW: '*name' is not according to the JavaServlet specification as well. If
asteriks starts URL pattern, it must be followed by dot and something (i.e. '*'
and '*.' are not allowed as well).
Comment 2 zikmund 2005-09-02 12:02:13 UTC 
Empty URL pattern is OK - no servlet-mapping will be generated.
'*name' invalid patterns etc. are still an issue. They should be fixed in new
Servlet/Filter wizzard as well.
Comment 3 Jayashri Visvanathan 2008-12-23 23:51:09 UTC 
If you switch to XML view, you can see that an default url pattern gets generated which is why you don't see a error
message.
