in thread How to index dynamic pages?

Many crawlers intentionally sidestep URLs that look like they're dynamic (i.e., URLs that contain ? = &). To trick crawlers like this, you need to use URLs of the form http://hostname/path/filename.jsp/N where N is an alternative for id=N.

If you were using Perl rather than JSP, it's a simple matter to pick up the /N from $ENV{PATH_INFO} or $ENV{REQUEST_URI}.

But this isn't JavaMonks, so you're on your own from here.

    This is not the problem. The jsp page displays itself as http://hostname/path/filename.jsp/id=N. My question is the filename.jsp is crawlered using find . -name "*.jsp", its url stored in the database as http://hostname/path/filename.jsp. When the page is searched, the filename.jsp without the id can't be displayed.

    Thanks
