=== Default Servlet

[[default-servlet-metadata]]
==== Info

* Classname: `org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.DefaultServlet`
* Maven Artifact: org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlet
* Javadoc: {JDURL}/org/eclipse/jetty/servlet/DefaultServlet.html

[[default-servlet-usage]]
==== Usage

The `DefaultServlet` implements the `ResourceFactory` interface and extends the `HttpServlet` abstract class.
It is usually mapped to "/" and provides handling for static content, `OPTION` and `TRACE` methods for the context.
The `MOVE` method is allowed if `PUT` and `DELETE` are allowed.
See the `DefaultServlet` link:{JDURL}/org/eclipse/jetty/servlet/DefaultServlet.html[javadoc].

[[default-servlet-init]]
==== Init Parameters

Jetty supports the following `initParameters`:

acceptRanges::
If `true`, range requests and responses are supported.
dirAllowed::
If `true`, directory listings are returned if no welcome file is found.
Otherwise 403 Forbidden displays.
redirectWelcome::
If `true`, welcome files are redirected rather that forwarded.
welcomeServlets::
If `true`, attempt to dispatch to welcome files that are servlets, but only after no matching static
resources could be found. If `false`, then a welcome file must exist on disk. If `exact`, then exact
servlet matches are supported without an existing file. Default is `true`. This must be `false` if you want directory listings,
but have index.jsp in your welcome file list.
precompressed::
If set to a comma separated list of encoding types (that may be listed in a requests Accept-Encoding header) to file extension mappings to look for and serve. 
For example: `br=.br,gzip=.gz,bzip2=.bz`.
If set to a boolean `true`, then a default set of compressed formats will be used, otherwise no precompressed formats supported.
gzip::
Deprecated. Use `precompressed` instead. If set to `true`, then static content is served as gzip content encoded if a matching resource is found ending with ".gz".
resourceBase::
Set to replace the context resource base.
resourceCache::
If set, this is a context attribute name, which the servlet will use to look for a shared ResourceCache instance.
relativeResourceBase::
Set with a pathname relative to the base of the servlet context root. Useful for only serving static content out of only specific subdirectories.
cacheControl::
If set, all static content will have this value set as the cache-control header.
pathInfoOnly::
If `true`, only the path info will be applied to the resourceBase
stylesheet::
Set with the location of an optional stylesheet that will be used to decorate the directory listing html.
etags::
If `true`, weak etags will be generated and handled.
maxCacheSize::
Maximum total size of the cache or 0 for no cache.
maxCachedFileSize::
Maximum size of a file to cache.
maxCachedFiles::
Maximum number of files to cache.
useFileMappedBuffer::
If set to `true`, mapped file buffer serves static content.
Setting this value to `false` means that a direct buffer is used instead of a mapped file buffer.
By default, this is set to `true`.
otherGzipFileExtensions::
A comma separated list of other file extensions that signify that a file is gzip compressed.
If you don't explicitly set this, it defaults to `.svgz`.
encodingHeaderCacheSize::
Max entries in a cache of ACCEPT-ENCODING headers
