flex2gateway how does this URL get translated?

[nikos101]

What black magic is happening when you do something like mydomain.com/flex2gateway

I'm not using a folder called mydomain.com/flex2gateway

in my www root so  how does this URL get translated?

What would happen if I actually had a folder called mydomain.com/flex2gateway

thanks a ton

That translation is defined in a servlet mapping in the file /WEB-INF/web.xml. If you actually had a flex2gateway folder, the request would still be intercepted and redirected to the CF Flex gateway.

Why does flex use

        <servlet-name>MessageBrokerServlet</servlet-name>
  and flash:
        <servlet-name>FlashGateway</servlet-name>
