/**
* Simple servlet that can expose an internal resource, including a
* default URL if the specified resource is not found. An alternative,
* for example, to trying and catching exceptions when using JSP include.
*
* A further usage of this servlet is the ability to apply last-modified
* timestamps to quasi-static resources (typically JSPs). This can happen
* as bridge to parameter-specified resources, or as proxy for a specific
* target resource (or a list of specific target resources to combine).
*
*
A typical usage would map a URL like "/ResourceServlet" onto an instance
* of this servlet, and use the "JSP include" action to include this URL,
* with the "resource" parameter indicating the actual target path in the WAR.
*
*
The defaultUrl property can be set to the internal
* resource path of a default URL, to be rendered when the target resource
* is not found or not specified in the first place.
*
*
The "resource" parameter and the defaultUrl property can
* also specify a list of target resources to combine. Those resources will be
* included one by one to build the response. If last-modified determination
* is active, the newest timestamp among those files will be used.
*
*
The allowedResources property can be set to a URL
* pattern of resources that should be available via this servlet.
* If not set, any target resource can be requested, including resources
* in the WEB-INF directory!
*
*
If using this servlet for direct access rather than via includes,
* the contentType property should be specified to apply a
* proper content type. Note that a content type header in the target JSP will
* be ignored when including the resource via a RequestDispatcher include.
*
*
To apply last-modified timestamps for the target resource, set the
* applyLastModified property to true. This servlet will then
* return the file timestamp of the target resource as last-modified value,
* falling back to the startup time of this servlet if not retrievable.
*
*
Note that applying the last-modified timestamp in the above fashion
* just makes sense if the target resource does not generate content that
* depends on the HttpSession or cookies; it is just allowed to evaluate
* request parameters.
*
*
A typical case for such last-modified usage is a JSP that just makes
* minimal usage of basic means like includes or message resolution to
* build quasi-static content. Regenerating such content on every request
* is unnecessary; it can be cached as long as the file hasn't changed.
*
*
Note that this servlet will apply the last-modified timestamp if you
* tell it to do so: It's your decision whether the content of the target
* resource can be cached in such a fashion. Typical use cases are helper
* resources that are not fronted by a controller, like JavaScript files
* that are generated by a JSP (without depending on the HttpSession).
